ADAPT (997)
The Atlanta Constitution, Local News Wednesday, Nov. 6 1996 c5 Disabled block DeKalb demand in-home care by Michael Weiss, Staff Writer Fresh off a pair of protests that led to promises from President Clinton and U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, about 100 members of a disabled advocacy group spent part of Election Day sitting in the street," blocking evening traffic at a busy DeKalb County intersection. Members of Americans with Disabilities for Attendant Programs Today (ADAPT), in town for a five-day conference on disabilities and human rights, first arrived at the corner of Memorial Drive and Covington Highway about 3:30 p.m., DeKalb police said. They were still in the street when the polls closed at 7 p.m., police said. The sit-in was ADAPT’s third protest in three days. On Monday, police broke up a 500-person sit-in at Clinton's Georgia campaign headquarters downtown, arresting 86 demonstrators and charging them with trespassing. They were released later Monday. Demonstrators were calling for the president to support programs that would provide in-home care for people with disabilities instead of forcing them into nursing homes. After he was notified by telephone of the protest, Clinton promised that, if re-elected, he would meet with representatives of ADAPT next year to discuss the issue, said ADAPT spokesman Mark Johnson. “Maybe he’s finally going to make good on his 4-year-old promise," said Johnson, of Atlanta. “We sure hope this isn't more political rhetoric.” On Sunday, ADAPT members paraded into Centennial Olympic Park to demand better funding for in-home care. Thirty of the protesters met that day with Gingrich (R-Ga.), who pledged to introduce legislation that would guarantee home-and-community-based services.

CREATIVE LOAFING November 14, 1996 DISABLED ISSUES ADAPT rolls out After five days of conferences, rallies and protests, hundreds of disabled activists headed for home following adjournment of the fall convention of ADAPT (American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today). The Atlanta meeting was particularly productive, say organizers, who secured written commitments from House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton to press for greater access to home and community-based care for the disabled. The organization, which has been campaigning to increase funding for such programs and steer policy-makers away from nursing home-oriented strategies, even secured a commitment from Georgia Nursing Home Association (GNHA) President Fred Watkins to support a moratorium on new nursing home construction in Georgia. But the concessions did not come easily. More than 400 activists occupied the Clinton-Gore headquarters on election eve, and 86 were arrested — then released — by Atlanta police. The following day, hundreds of demonstrators in wheelchairs blockaded Memorial Drive in front of the GNHA offices, then filled the lobby of the downtown Marriott Marquis, where members of the American Health Care Association (AHCA) were staying during their convention. They sought an audience with AHCA President Paul Wilging, but were unsuccessful; 120 demonstrators were jailed, but a municipal judge released them upon condition they refrain from any more disturbances. "AHCA is becoming less relevant, now that we have legislative measures in the works,” says Atlanta ADAPT member Mark Johnson. "We've definitely got some things to follow up on. We have a committed time-frame for action in Washington, and if things don't get done, we'll escalate again." —- Greg Land
Video-Incitement Atlanta 1996
This is the story, as told in a video Incitement, of ADAPT's national action in Atlanta in 1996. We were fighting for community based services so people don't have to go into nursing homes and other institutions. We were able to get Speaker Newt Gingrich to agree to sponsor our bill, and to get both parties very aware of our issue on the eve of the national election. We challenged the GA Nursing Home Assn and the AHCA (the nursing home lobby group) and pulled off some spectacular actions.
