ADAPT (701)
Title: Protesters hit Illinois center in wheelchairs By Neil Steinberg, Staff Writer Disabled protesters from around the country used their wheelchairs to block access to the State of Illinois Center on Wednesday, the fourth day in their call for state funds to be directed toward home care instead of nursing homes. “The people united will never be defeated," chanted about 200 protesters, blocking elevators, escalators and stairways at the building. “No more cuts.” There was no violence and no arrests, though protesters did scuffle briefly with police outside the governor's office, where they demanded a meeting with Gov. Edgar, who is in Springfield. Government business slowed to a near halt as state workers crowded the rings of balconies at the center, watching the chanting wheelchair activists on the main floor. Although employees could move among the upper floors by using the unblocked exterior staircases, it was often difficult to reach the ground floor. Two employees from the lieutenant governor's office found themselves trapped in a fire stairway when their attempt to take a garage elevator out of the building failed. “They captured the car elevator,” a maintenance man told the two young workers. Swearing, they tried another route. “This is starting to inconvenience me," one said. Tourists and school `groups` visiting the building got a surprise introduction to special-interest advocacy. An architecture club from Reading, Pa., here to appreciate the 16-story curving edifice designed by Helmut Jahn, stopped to reprimand protesters for keeping them off the elevators. State workers, some of whom literally climbed over the wheelchairs of protesters, also put in a word or two. “You are a lawless mob,“ a worker for the Department of Rehabilitative Services told a group of protesters blocking the elevator. “They have a right to protest," the worker said. “They don’t have a right to interfere with our lives."

Atlanta Daily News 10/1990 [very poor quality copy, picture almost impossible to see] IN PROTEST PHOTO by Philip Barry, Daily News A guard stands in doorway in foreground looking toward the camera. On the right side of the picture you can see the wall beside the doorway and a small sign reading: 322 Office of President. Behind this person and mostly below her hip level you can see a mass of ADAPT Protesters, a couple in wheelchairs, others apparently kneeling or staying low. By the guard's leg, you can see Anita Cameron's head and shoulder looking around the door frame. Anita is wearing an ADAPT headband and she seems to be chanting or singing. Protest A Morehouse College security guard stands watch as disabled activists take over the president's office Monday. About 60 wheelchair-bound protesters occupied the office, demanding a meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan as another 150 sat in the hallway. The group, ADAPT or American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, plans additional protests.

Houston Chronicle, Wednesday. May 22. 1996 [p. 22A] [Headline] Disabled protesters take over headquarters of county GOP By JENNIFER C. WANG Houston Chronicle Groups of protesters, most of them in wheelchairs, barricaded two local political offices Tuesday to demand changes in the way disabled people receive care in America. About 100 supporters of the advocacy group American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today took the Harris County Republican Party and denied party Garry Polland access to the building until he agreed to help their cause. A second group of about 150 ADAPT supporters blockaded and occupied U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay’s office in Sugar Land, until DeLay agreed to meet with them. ADAPT is a nonprofit group of activists who want federal funding for disabled and elderly care to be diverted from nursing homes to programs that provide in-home care or community-based care. ADAPT staged a similar demonstration Monday at Living Centers of America, one of the nation's largest operators of nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and other facilities. “Politicians in Houston are very important within our government. So, we want to make our case heard,” said Kathleen Kleinmann, an activist who traveled from Washington, Pa, to protest in front of the Republican Party Headquarters. "We are committed to getting attendant care as a national right. It is basically the same type of services as nursing homes - aides would help you get out of bed in the morning, help you get your food... but it keeps you in your own home and it gives you freedom," Kleinmann explained. At the Monday protest at the Living Centers of America, five people were arrested and spent the night in jail. Tuesday's protesters narrowly escaped arrest by Stafford police when DeLay, who is in Washington DC, agreed to meet with them next month. Both groups of protesters declared their demonstrations a success. Polland agreed to write presumptive GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and DeLay, urging them to meet with ADAPT at the party's state convention in August. Polland said he disagreed with ADAPT’s proposal to mandate a redistribution of funds, but that the group's demands are in line with Republican initiatives promoting choice, empowerment and health care vouchers. “This is really a Republican agenda," Polland said. “The system mandates certain types of treatment. That‘s their complaint." Mike Oxford, an ADAPT activist from Kansas said because meetings in the past with Dole and Gingrich have yielded no action, the group is cautious about promises for action from Polland and DeLay. “The problem with vouchers is it's like giving somebody a dollar and saying, ‘Here, go to Red Lobster.’ You‘ve got choices, but you've got to have resources to back that choice up, otherwise, it's meaningless," Oxford said. ADAPT, which stages two national protests each year, said it has more activities planned for Houston throughout the week but declined to reveal where or when. “We're going to dog this issue until we get it," Kleinmann said. “We're not going to give up. Never." PHOTO by John Everett / Chronicle Group of at least eight ADAPT protesters in wheelchairs and standing fill a small office with a door and reception desk. They are talking with a man in a white shirt and tie. One protester holds a sign that reads "Too Sexy for your Nursing Homes!"
