In September 2003, from the fourth to the seventeenth, 120 ADAPT members marched from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia to Washington, D C, joined at Baltimore by an additional 61 Marchers. I marched for ADAPT of Connecticut, thanks to the very generous support of the Connecticut Council on Developmental Disabilities and the State of Connecticut Office of Protection and Advocacy for People with Disabilities, as well as many individual and business donors.
The purpose of the March was to build support for MiCASSA, the Medicaid Community based Attendant Services and Supports Act. MiCASSA would provide more community based attendant services for personal assistance in the home, so that more people with disabilities could live at home in the community instead of in institutions.
We are all trying to make it in this world now we just have to fix it where everyone is free and have the same rights
