Disability Activists Confront #BuildBackBetter Holdout Representatives
Who: National ADAPT
What: Confronting Democratic Representatives blocking passage of the Build Back Better social infrastructure bill
Where: Outside Rayburn, Longworth, and Cannon House Office Buildings on 45 Independence Ave. SW
When: Happening Now, Wednesday, November 17, 2021
Why: To demand the Representatives stop blocking passage of the Build Back Better social infrastructure bill, and support full funding of Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), which keeps people out of institutions. HCBS funding also provides living wages for the attendants who provide essential, often intimate care for older and disabled people.
ADAPT is also demanding that the House support funding for affordable, accessible, integrated housing, because you can’t have HCBS without the “H.”
