I don't remember how many times I've been arrested. I lost count years ago. Unfortunately such dramatic actions are necessary to get our struggles to the attention of government, the media, the general public.

I wish we could stop fighting. But so many of our people are incarcerated in nursing homes and other institutions, so many are living below the poverty level, so many are being denied basic human rights... The promise of equality of the Americans with Disabilities Act remains unfulfilled... We live in an "ableist" world. We face prejudice and discrimination in every area of our lives on a daily basis...

When it seems we're making progress, we suddenly find ourselves having to fight just to hold on to what we've gained.

We have no choice. Activism must come first.
