Thanks to all that came out today!!!

'The house will also model an alternative living space for disabled people. In the 60s and 70s, many were hopeful that deinstitutionalization would end the widespread segregation and abuse of disabled people. Today, however, vast numbers of disabled people are still segregated and abused in nursing homes and, particularly disabled people of color, in prisons. Deinstitutionalization was capitalized on as an excuse to privatize care through for-profit nursing homes. In part due to lobbying, the nursing home industry reaps massive profits from medicaid and medicare payments, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of disabled and elderly people in nursing homes across the U.S. would prefer to live in their homes among the community. The Radically Accessible Living Project envisions and hopes to enact an option for disabled people beyond being trapped in nursing homes or forced to live with families, who aren’t provided adequate social supports, into adulthood.'
