In the Spring of 1991, ADAPT went to Baltimore, home of Social Security and the Health Care Finance Administration. The first day we blocked all the entrances to the main Social Security Building at lunch. Then after several hours, we moved down and took over the main intersection in front of the complex. They had to build a road to let people out, and we dubbed it Wade's Way. The next day we targeted a different Social Security building in the complex where they handle disability determination. The last day we rode down to Washington DC and took over the Health and Human Services building on Independence. Our message for the week: Free Our People from nursing homes and other institutions.
