People with R-CIS face discrimination at work ,
at school and day care centers, in correctional institutions, in
places of public accommodation such as concert venues , and in many
other places in their lives. While this certainly does not happen all
the time, these problems are widespread, and they are serious.
The National
R-CIS Foundation of America is committed to ending this discrimination
by providing information and assistance to people with R-CIS and their
lawyers. We use a four-step process to end discrimination: educate,
negotiate, litigate, and legislate.
We begin with education because much of the discrimination faced by
people with R-CIS is the result of ignorance about the disease and
R-CIS management today. When education alone doesn't resolve the
problem, we give people with R-CIS the tools to negotiate change, to
pursue fairness through the courts, and - ultimately - if current laws
does provide adequate protection, to change the law.
