I am celebrating the 25th Anniversary of ADAPT this year by participating in a
FUN*RUN! http://www.adaptfunrun.org/sponsor.php?id=22
A quarter century of disability rights has brought about many positive changes
like: accessible public transportation, curb cuts and ramps to access our
communities, much more community services and a recognition of the need to
promote community services for long term care instead of relying on
institutions. I am very proud of ADAPT's role in helping to make all this
happen, and in empowering hundreds and hundreds of disability activists to make
changes for the better both in their own lives and in our society generally.
But we aren't done yet. There are still many places that need access, there's
still a huge need for accessible, affordable, integrated housing, institutional
services are still the default for long term care, and we need to involve new
activists too! We have work still to do in many areas.
A movement needs funds to get things done -- not necessarily tons of money, but
it needs some. And that is why I believe the Fun*Run is a great way to
celebrate this quarter century marker! Any contribution you make is really
appreciated.
We have a great new addition for the Fun*Run this year. Now you can even
support this effort via the internet! This link
http://www.adaptfunrun.org/sponsor.php?id=22 will take you to my Fun*Run
sponsor page! All you have to do is click on the amount of your donation,
your name and your email. If you'd rather get a paper bill then fill in your
address, etc. If you make a flat donation (vs. a per-lap pledge) you can even
pay by PayPal if you like.
Thanks for your support of disability rights and ADAPT!
