[Headline] Handicapped criticize lack of support By Robert Palomares, El Paso Herald-Post A group of protesters chained their wheelchairs to the doors of the McDonald's restaurant on Piedras Street and I-10 to protest the chain's “lack of commitment” to handicapped people. Before his wheelchair was locked to door handles Friday, El Pasoan Jim Parker said that although McDonald’s provides funding for disabled people, the commitment doesn't include making the restaurants accessible to the handicapped. "McDonald's has raised money for disabled people, but they don't make their restaurants accessible to us” Parker said. “It's like saying, ‘We will give you this money, but you can't eat in our restaurants.”’ he said. “This doesn’t mean they are exempt from providing us accessibility." said Mike Auberger of Denver. Robert Keyser, a spokesman for McDonald's Corp. also was in El Paso for the protest. Keyser said the protesters are not accurate when they say that the restaurants do not provide accessibility for handicapped people. “Since 1979. McDonald’s standard building designs provide accessibility to the handicapped, even though local codes do not necessarily call for it.” Keyser said. "In new construction table heights are considered" Keyser said. “We're not saying the restaurants should be modified overnight," said Bob Conrad, another protester from Denver. “But certainly new construction should have handicapped accessibility plans.” Auberger, Conrad and others have traveled from city to city, protesting at McDonald’s restaurants. The protesters say the height of the tables in the restaurant make it necessary for those in wheelchairs to sit in the restaurant's aisles. “So far, these people have not made an attempt to talk to us,” Keyser said. “These people are using McDonald's to make a political statement. We don't do business as a result of threats,” he said. The atmosphere inside the restaurant remained calm during the protest although customers did not know what was going on. The protesters said they believed the action was successful and after about an hour unlocked themselves and left the restaurant. Keyser said that McDonald's provides accessibility, “and will continue to work on ways to make our restaurants even more accessible, including improvements such as tables that are more convenient for our disabled customers,” he said.

Colorado Springs Sun PHOTO (Sun / Mary Kelley): A high level quadriplegic (John Folks) in a motorized wheelchair is tipped back onto his rear wheels by two uniformed officers. His mouth control for driving his chair is in his mouth, his long black hair is held in a headband, and a suitcase-type box is strapped to his lapboard. Another uniformed officer and a plain clothes officer look on from a short distance. Behind them a group of protesters sit in a parking lot. Most are in wheelchairs but Brook Ball sits on a cement block. Caption reads: Police arrest John Folks during a protest by a group of disabled people at the McDonald's Restaurant on North Wahsatch Avenue Friday afternoon. [Headline] 11 Arrested in Protest By Ken Western Eleven protesters – 10 of them confined to wheelchairs – where arrested Friday by Colorado Springs police after they blocked the entrances to a downtown McDonald’s Restaurant. The arrests were the second in two days for some members of the Denver-based Access Institute, which contends that McDonald’s discriminates against the disables by failing to provide complete access to all of its restaurants, tables and restrooms. Denver police arrested seven protesters Thursday in a similar demonstration by the group outside another McDonald’s Restaurant. A spokesman for McDonald’s defended the company’s efforts Friday to provide access to the disabled, particularly in restaurants build since the late 1906s and in the remodeling of older buildings. The nearly two-dozen protesters, who arrived in vans from Denver, began blocking entrances to the restaurant’s parking lot, 207 N. Wahsatch Ave, at 12:15 pm. Four entrances and the drive-through lane were closed for about an hour, with most vehicles exiting through the alley behind the restaurant and, in one instance, driving off a curb. Each entrance was blocked by two to three wheelchair-bound protesters, some holding signs that read “Discrimination Hurts Everyone!!!” and “How Can I Enjoy An Egg McMuffin When I Can’t Get To The Tables?” Leaflets also were passed out urging patrons to boycott the restaurant “to show that you want us to have the right to each with you.” Police began arresting protesters after they blocked the east alley in the 200 block of North Wahsatch Avenue, charging 11 people with obstructing or interfering with traffic. Under an agreement with the Access Institute, police arrested those protesters who wanted to be bookeds in an apparently symbolic protest.
