  Denied Entrance

  Posted by Danielle "Dani" Liptak on April 30, 2019 at 5:03 pm

  People with disabilities, especially physical, are denied the fundamental right to access a space.

  In 2018 I attended a Willie Nelson concert where there was no clear accessible seating section.  Needless to say I was harassed by people in the crowd because they couldn’t see over my chair and I felt unsafe wedged between chairs and a wall. My friends and I started to exit the venue I was upset and crying. A man who I believe worked for the venue saw me and offered help.  I was moved to a space that was more comfortable but still not ADA compliant.

  Have you ever been denied access to a space? How was the situation corrected? Can you share any personal stories?
