Take Action

Four things you can do this week.

Real change happens one restroom at a time. Here’s how to push for it in your community, whether you have five minutes or an afternoon.

Join the coalition

Add your name to our call for accessible handwashing standards in commercial building codes.

Our team will reach out to retailers, restaurants, and community spaces on your behalf. Just tell us where.

Use our talking points to start a conversation with a business owner or facility manager about installing a lower sink or fixed step.

Personal stories move policy faster than statistics. Share what this barrier looks like in your family’s life.

If you’re writing to a business owner, facility manager, or city council member, these are the points that resonate most:

A lower wash station or fixed step stool is a one-time installation, typically under $500, with no ongoing operating cost.
Accessible handwashing reduces parents lifting children over sinks, which lowers the risk of slips, spills, and injury complaints.
Families with young children, multigenerational families, and disabled parents make repeat purchasing decisions based on whether a restroom worked for them.
Schools, children’s hospitals, and museums have used dual-height sinks for decades. The product category is mature, code-compliant, and proven.
It is good hygiene policy: when children can’t wash their hands, they don’t. That has consequences for everyone using the space.

The places families and disabled adults use most often, with the biggest gap between current design and basic accessibility.
