ADAPT (346)
California Magazine Column Title: California Reporter Title: Wheelchair Militants By Geeta Dardick Last September 29 marked a radical change in the tactics used by those seeking equal access to public transportation. Disabled demonstrators protesting the policies of the American Public Transit Association (APTA) defied police orders and and lay across San Francisco’s famed cable-car tracks. As the local and national media recorded the event, police arrested more than 75 picketers - the largest mass arrest of disabled people in California history. Now the activists who organized the action are hinting that similar tactics are in store for 1988. “When severely disabled people put their bodies on the line, it rivets public attention,” explains Joc Koontz, of the San Francisco Physically Disabled Quorum. “Few people had ever seen this sort of activity before September. Some California transit authorities may consider dropping out of the APTA because of its refusal to listen to the demands of the disabled.” Militant action by the disabled seems likely when the APTA reconvenes in Monterey, April 15-20, “There will definitely be demonstrations,” says Berkeley resident Michael Pachovas, a spokesperson for the California-based Coalition for Accessible Transportation (CAT). Mark Beckwith, another CAT member, explains why he intends to participate in the demonstration. “I don’t necessarily want to go to jail in Monterey, but I will if I have to, to get the point across.” PHOTO: A man (Mike Auberger) with long braids and a headband sits in his motorized wheelchair on the cable car tracks. Behind him, another person in a power chair is blocking a cable car. Several passengers are climbing out and standing beside the cable car and most are looking toward the camera and Mike.
