Join ADAPT and thousands of supporters of home and community long term
services and supports in Washington DC
the week of ***** [June 17th - June 22nd.] *****

Send a message to Congress, President Clinton and both Presidential
candidates that
the disability and older advocacy communities want an end to a long term
care
system that
warehouses us in nursing homes and other institutions.

Action Oriented Events

Sun. June 18th -  2:00pm Rally - Upper Senate Park -
Clinton, Gore and Bush and others will be invited to answer one simple
quesion!
WHY DOES THE US STILL SPEND 75% OF ALL LONG TERM CARE MONEY
TO WAREHOUSE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES IN NURSING HOMES AND OTHER
INSTITUTIOS?
Mon. June 19th -  Addressing Issues the Local Way!
Tues. June 20th - Why the Medical Model?
Wed. June 21st - Capitol Hill - Grassroots at work!

The Rally on Sunday, June 18th will kick off a week of action packed
events that
will build the momentum for the passage of legislation that will change
the
institutionally biased long term service and support system.  Come to
the
Rally -
Bring a Friend!
