Disability Targeting Registries present a significant threat to the rights, privacy, and dignity of individuals with disabilities in Newton, NJ. They allow for unjust discrimination and mistreatment of disabled community members, perpetuating established stereotypes and stigmatizations. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, such registries often prevent disabled individuals from fully participating in community life, as they may face unjust surveillance and targeted services that negatively impact the quality of their lives (source: ACLU). These registries are also in direct violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability rights legislation, which prohibit unequal treatment, discrimination, and invasion of privacy for disabled individuals (source: US Department of Justice). It is crucial to take a stand against this invasive, prejudiced system and advocate for the equal rights and dignity of all Newton residents. Sign the petition to call on our local legislators to put an end to Disability Targeting Registries in Newton, NJ.
