ADAPT Blogswarm, Day 2 -- Updates From the Action 2

Sent to me via email from an ADAPTer:

At approximately 4:30 AM on Monday, September 15th, hundreds of disability rights activists from across the country took over the plaza in front of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The activists, from a grassroots organization called ADAPT, are targeting HUD with this 'tent city', http://www.duhcity.org , action because people with disabilities are in a housing crisis. There simply is not enough housing that is accessible, affordable, and integrated for people with disabilities.

ADAPT activists have taken this message to the Democrats and Republicans. Eleven ADAPTers were arrested Monday afternoon at the National campaign headquarters of Senator John McCain.

To support these activists and to make this action work, ADAPT needs your help! We need the candidates for President and those for Congress to here (sic) from YOU - the VOTERS of this NATION!


Use this LINK to send a letter to the Candidates for President and the Candidates for Congress in your district! Then send this action alert link to EVERYONE you know!
