Three of our ADAPT Minnesota members and one personal care assistant (PCA) will be traveling to Washington, DC from September 17th through Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 to participate in the National ADAPT Fall Action. The trip includes participating in the Demand Responsible Medicaid Reform rally being held Wednesday, September 21, 2011. During the rally, ADAPT will join other disability, aging and civil rights groups as we demand responsible Medicaid reform that supports our civil right to live in the most integrated setting. We need Medicaid reform that not only contains costs, but also protects the civil rights of seniors and people with disabilities.
In order to make the trip, we need to raise nearly $6,000. Therefore, we are asking individuals, families, and organizations throughout our communities for assistance raising funds plus spreading the word. One very ambitious member has already raised nearly $500! We invite you to join with us in solidarity in this struggle as we go to Washington DC to work for change. Each dollar counts. Please let your family, friends, colleagues, and vendors know about the opportunity to support the disability community through this event. For more information, please e-mail adapt.mn@gmail.com.
ADAPT Minnesota is the local chapter of a national organization advocating for the rights of people with disabilities to live in and contribute to our communities. ADAPT has a proud history of fighting for accessible transportation; affordable, accessible, and integrated housing; plus, living, working, and serving in our chosen communities.
