Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

Still- nearly 90 million of the eligible voters didn't vote, which is a large reason we are in this situation. That seems apathetic to me.
It also shows what a difference it makes in documentaries when people are given the space to represent and speak for themselves.
Each leap in it gets more powerful too.
Also, that is wonderful of you and thank you for having been a teacher with that mindset!
Look here for motivation folks 🔵
now, republicans would probably douse them with gas and set them on fire for blocking the steps. And Dems would just watch.
The protest played a crucial role in the passage of the ADA, which was signed into law by Bush in July 1990
