Much like a symphony, we moved 500 people over, under and through the city as we made our way to face the monster we had all crossed the country to confront.
2001 – San Francisco – Linda Anthony
I blocked intersections with the others to keep cars from moving into our line, I stood over holes in the street to keep a chair from getting stuck.

The interpreters were being threatened with arrests. We (ADAPT) had plans to move on, but we were willing to change them and be arrested if that is how they wanted to play the game!

About three dozen people spilled out of their chairs, and were carried, or dragged themselves down the tiny entry steps, across a huge plaza, and then up the steps of the Old Executive Office Building to block the doors.

As we marched up the street toward the Rhoades Building we were met with sideways snow and ice that pelted our faces. It was bone-chilling cold but ADAPT pressed on.

“We’re ADAPT! You’re trapped! Get used to it!” we chanted. But I admit I got nervous when I heard engines starting.

We marched to the Federal Building. We blocked them all in because Tennessee is bad, but other places like Pennsylvania need to get the message.
1998 – Memphis – Spitfire Sabel
ADAPT will never give up. We’ve grown. Many more have joined us and there are youth leaders to take up the torch and FREE OUR PEOPLE.
