National ADAPT joins grandmas across the country who have gathered in Washington, D.C. to turn up the pressure on the Senate to swiftly pass this legislation that will transform the way people with disabilities and the elderly access care now and in future generations. Elected leaders, direct care workers, family caregivers and people with disabilities will meet in front of the Capitol to share our decades of fighting for home and community based services and affordable, accessible, integrated housing , and demand that Congress take action in support of this once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, the elderly, and direct care workers.
