Why?

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires all major businesses and corporations to hire people with disabilities. This applies to most government agencies as well, with one glaring exception—the U.S. military, which is not required to comply with the ADA.

Author, disability activist, and blind Air Force veteran Marty Klein has started a fundraising campaign to produce a feature-length documentary film, to be called “Why Can’t We Serve.” The goal is to help shift the military from being behind the times with regard to all people with disabilities, toward a more inclusive position that no longer discriminates.

This worthy project is endorsed by a growing group of forward-thinking organizations and individuals, including:

  • Family of Woodstock, Inc. - Providing shelter, food, court advocates, counseling, case management services, hotlines, and child care supports to help people in the Ulster County area (NY).
  • Tallahassee Council of the Blind - Working to make life better for blind/visually impaired people in the Tallahassee area (FL) through outreach, education, and advocacy.
  • Flying Blind - Empowering disabled users through the resale and implementation of adaptive technologies in educational, vocational, and community settings.
  • One Vet One Voice - Working to serve veterans and military families in the San Fransisco Bay area and ultimately throughout California.
  • Rabbi Jonathan Kligler
  • The Warrior Connection - Connecting combat veterans with themselves, their families, and their communities.
  • Free Range Studios - Brand builders, movement makers, problem solvers, and partners in their clients' causes and ideas. Jonah Sachs, co-founder.
  • Woodstock Physical Therapy
