Barriers Still Exist - RJ's Everyday Fight
Every day Americans do typical things like use sidewalks, attend job interviews, enter elevators, and use the front door. Now imagine not being able to do these things. Better yet, you miss a doctor’s appointment, arrive late to your favorite concert, or are forced to enter a building from the back all because of unnavigable pathways. This is the reality for Veterans and individuals with mobility disabilities.
In Paralyzed Veterans of America’s latest PSA, Barriers Still Exist – RJ’s Everyday Fight, we follow U.S. Army Veteran and PVA member R.J. Anderson of Chicago, IL, who encounters endless accessibility barriers on his way to a job interview. Sadly, R.J. is not alone. A staggering 80% of people with disabilities have encountered an accessibility barrier within the past six months, with more than 1 in 3 having missed important events and appointments due to such barriers.
PVA believes access to public spaces is a fundamental right and is leading the fight to build a world where accessibility for all is the norm, not the exception. And you can help. By sharing Barriers Still Exist– RJ’s Everyday Fight with your audience TODAY you can encourage others to join PVA’s fight for accessibility for all.

Inaccessibility can affect anyone at any time. More than one-third of Americans face inaccessibility every day—a reality that must change. Paralyzed Veterans of America is leading the fight for an inclusive, accessible world. Veterans, individuals with disabilities and mobility impairments, seniors, and parents with young children ALL deserve spaces that allow them to fully participate in their communities and that work for everyone.
PVA’s latest PSA, Barriers Still Exist – For Everyone, reveals the impact of inaccessibility through the eyes of five everyday Americans. Simple tasks like shopping, boarding a hotel shuttle, attending school, or catching a bus can become daunting or entirely unnavigable when barriers are present.
Share Barriers Still Exist – For Everyone with your audience today and join PVA in building a barrier-free world for everyone!
