looking out, i see so many who helped make the ada real. the activists gave everything they had to fight for that bill, the advocates who helped to shape the bill title by title. the policymakers who worked tirelessly to pass it, including, of course, our own president, joe biden. [applause] house majority leader steny hoyer. [applause] and congressman tony gwynn love -- tony quayle. thank you, all. every day, and in every community, lives of the american people are better because of the work you all did. when people can ride a bus because they have a lift, when they can enter a building because it has a ramp, when they can watch a movie with closed captions, when a student with a disability goes to school instead of discrimination, gets support, that is the 88 inaction -- the ada in action. the ada gives all americans an opportunity to fully participate in our democracy and our society. the ada gives all americans the opportunity to determine their own future. self-determination, which i believe the government must facilitate. that is the

for our nation, the ada is more than a law as well. it is testament to our character as a people, our character as americans. it is a triumph of american values. and of course, this law did not bring an end to the work we need to do. today, too many americans still face barriers to freedom and equality. but thanks to this movement that spans all races, beliefs, backgrounds and generations, we're once again making progress together. in my first day in office, i was proud to sign an executive order establishing a governmentwide commitment to advancing equity, including people with disabilities. [applause] and i was proud to appoint the first-ever white house disability policy director, kim knackstedt. where are you? [applause] [cheers] where's kim? thank you, kim. and i am assuring that the dignity and rights of americans are lifted up and every policy we pursue, from continuing to make sure that this administration looks like america, appointing people with disabilities to positions across the government. in the american rescue plan, we
