National Action in Chicago, September 9-13, 2007For years, people with disabilities in Illinois have:
* Fought the unnecessary segregation of people with disabilities in institutions
* Lobbied against service cuts and increased fares to mainline transportation and paratransit services
* Been denied their right to a choice in long-term care services even though more community options would save millions of dollars.
Disability concerns cut across all communities fighting for better access to: Health Care, Housing, Transportation and Economic Opportunities. After years of empty promises and broken plans, people with disabilities around the country are coming to Chicago to demand change. We invite you to join us! For five days in September, hundreds of ADAPT members will rally, demonstrate and protest against Illinois systems that starve people with disabilities and others of their rights and their independence. Chicago ADAPT invites all community members who support equality, choice and access to join us in September!
