Search in this set

We started off the Nashville 2006 action with a day long hearing of the experiences of people who had been institutionalized and had gotten out. The testimony was chilling and moving and more. From that experience we held a rally at legislative plaza across the street from the Tennessee state Capitol and then blocked intersections in front of the Capitol. Tennessee had been rated one of the worst states in nation for trapping people in nursing homes and not supporting them in the community. The next day we blocked the street in front of the Capitol and on the last day took our message to the TennCare offices and Regional HUD office.
