20. ADAPT's been doing this for a quarter-century

the initials originally stood for Americans Disabled for Accessible Public Transit. ADAPT used to show up wherever the American Public Transit Association (APTA) was having its convention, and raise havoc. (The first ADAPT action involved chair users chaining themselevs to inaccessible buses at the main transfer point in downtown Denver at the height of afternoon rush hour.)

Thanks to ADAPT and the ADA, nearly all buses are now accessible, so the group changed its focus to FREE OUR PEOPLE!, who represent fully one-quarter of the country's nursing home population.

Believe me, ADAPT activists (disclaimer: I was at last fall's action, though I didn't get arrested) don't want any special treatment from the gendarmerie, even if they use wheelchairs. To me the sad thing is that the M$M is only now sitting up and taking notice, all because a hunky actor who had a hit series a few years ago is on board.
