PHOTO: There is a lot of motion in this picture. A person in wheelchair, wearing a yellow shirt is turned away from the camera toward a set of double doors that say public entrance, with a wheelchair symbol. Around this person are Five law enforcement people. One man wearing black gloves is grabbing the chair with both hands. Two others are holding their hands in front of themselves toward the wheelchair in a somewhat feeble looking attempt to stop it. - ADAPT (1357)

(They are at the top of a bunch of steps that overlook a large park in front of city hall. and there is a big crowd in the park, though you can't see that part in this picture.) - ADAPT (1356)
PEOPLE IN WHEEL CHAIRS DO NOT WANT TO DIE IN NURSING HOME! THEY DEMAND THEIR VOICE TO BE HEARD TERMS TO BE MET! A large group of the Disabled Population known as ADAPT protested at Laguna Hunda Hospital protesting "Free our People". The Disabled group was represented from all parts of the U.S. and have protested before in other states, facilities, hospitals, courts, and as far as the Federal and Legislative Governments. The purpose of the protest was to oppose the funding in which the hospital was recipient to funds to re-model the hospital with Medicaid funds. Funds were to be dispensed for the re-building of the hospital which was creating the same restrictive environment that institutionalizes peoples lives. ADAPT demands were to allocate funds instead for the building to be scattered affordable and accessible housing in which would enable persons with disabilities to have choices in their lives where they would have their home. The city of San Francisco owns the Laguna Hunda Hospital so the city could have the choice of what to do with the hospital. The protest continued peacefully throughout the week. A spokesperson for the ADAPT group were in hoping to meet with the Mayor Willie Brown to discuss options for the disabled community. - ADAPT (1355)
ADAPT To: Governor Davis From: ADAPT Date: October 23, 2001 Subject: Most Integrated Setting The rebuilding and funding of Laguna Honda Hospital is an example of California's non-compliance with the Olmstead decision. ADAPT wants you, Governor Davis, to do the following: 1) Allow Laguna Honda residents to use Medicaid funds for community alternatives so they can live and receive support services in the most integrated setting. In other words, let the money follow the individual. 2) Refuse to use state dollars to match Medicaid funding for any individual in, or in danger of going into, Laguna Honda. Also refuse to allow any state dollars to be used for the rebuilding of this facility. 3) Develop, fund and implement, by February 2002, a comprehensive, effectively working plan (with goals of numbers of people to get out within given timeframes) that gets and keeps people out of nursing homes and other institutions. 4) Write a letter to the National Governor's Association requesting a meeting between their Executive Committee and ADAPT representatives. 5) Meet with ADAPT. - ADAPT (1354)
PHOTO: Two SFPD police officers, in a crowd of almost a dozen blue uniforms, have a man [Jeff Fox] sitting on the ground by his arms to lift him into his manual wheelchair beside him. Another officer is holding the chair still. They all have big batons and other equipment hanging from their belts. Jeff, with his long hair and beard, windbreaker, jeans and hightop sneakers, is sitting on some kind of yellow banner on what seems to be the street with a woman with blonde hair, glasses a jacket and jeans, and you can see the foot of a third person.
