Who: National ADAPT 

What: Confronting Senators blocking passage of the Build Back Better social infrastructure bill

Where: In front of the Russell Senate Office Building Washington DC 20510 

When: Happening TODAY, Wednesday December 8, 2021, 12 PM 

Why: To demand the Senate pass 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 senators support funding for affordable, accessible, integrated housing, because you can’t have HCBS without the “H.”
