ADAPT FREE OUR PEOPLE

ADAPTers,

What a surprise that action was. Text book action for how the people united will never be defeated. Three days of action did exactly what we wanted done: laid a great foundation for the new administration. Health and Human Services, HHS; Housing and Urban Development, HUD, and the White House gang all got a taste of ADAPT, and were more willing to negotiate than it seemed they would be! Even the American Health Care Association, ARCA, agreed to come to the table.

Our message was heard as far off as Aruba! And it was definitely heard by the new Bush Administration.

The meetings with HHS and MICA are arranged. United action overcame resistance in both cases. The Executive Order on implementing Olmstead is out almost exactly on schedule and is stronger than many of us thought it would be. That would never have happened if not for our little home visit. HUD Secretary Martinez met with us and agreed to ongoing meetings, though it is clear work is needed in this department!

There can be no question direct action works. Sure we don't win all in the first round, but advances are moving us forward at a smart pace. It is hard to remember an action where we worked better together, and that is no easy claim to make as we have had some beautiful actions!

[Subheading] Now is the time to prepare for this fall's action in San Francisco October 20-25.

We will need each and every one of us all there as we tackle the largest nursing home in the galaxy: Laguna Honda! Despite a big outcry from the local disability community, despite the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision, despite this being the 21st Century, local movers and shakers have decided to sink hundreds of millions of dollars into rebuilding this monstrosity of a nursing home. We must join together and head west to

FREE OUR PEOPLE!!!

This will be ADAPT's 35th National Action. Don't miss it. We need you there.
