Accessibility at the Capitol

Everyone benefits from accessibility! At UNA-USA, we are aiming to ensure that people with different abilities can access and use the same resources as people without disabilities, especially when it comes to participating in our democracy and advocating on Capitol Hill. Please use the resources below to guide your day at the Capitol.

Any additional questions can be sent to Maria Amalla at mamalla@unfoundation.org

Our Hill Day will consist of moderate walking (3 miles) between the House and the Senate. Bathrooms are found on every floor of office buildings. Unfortunately, there are few water fountains displayed in the hallways, but we encourage you to bring a reusable water container. Congressional offices have watercoolers, and staff are happy to fill it up for you. For medical devices, we also encourage you to ask congressional offices to charge them as there are few outlets available in the hallway.

In case of a non-life-threatening situation, we will have a staffer stationed at the Longworth Cafeteria (House) and the Dirksen Cafeteria (Senate) who can assist you.
