No More Excuses was the theme of this action, and ADAPT protests targeted many of the key barriers to people with disabilities (of all ages) living with support services in the community. We hit the Public Housing Authorities Director's Association and the Council of Large Public Housing Authorities to free up the vouchers we had won for people getting out of nursing homes and promote our Access Across America. ADAPT also targeted AHIP (America's Health Insurance Plans) the lobby group for managed care. Our "we're not cash cows" message got through loud and clear. The last day we hit both the Republican National Committee and HUD and got meetings with both.
