GoFundMe for arrested ADAPT protestors
https://www.gofundme.com/adapt-warriors-in-indiana-jail
30 ADAPT Warriors were arrested this morning in Indiana where they held a non violent demonstration to stop the shock and torture of disabled people at the Judge Rotenberg Center. They went to the Indianapolis home of HHS Secretary (US) Alex Azar to demand that he tell FDA to release the regulations that would stop the shock.ADAPT is "a national grass-roots community that organizes disability rights activists to engage in nonviolent direct action, including civil disobedience, to assure the civil and human rights of people with disabilities to live in freedom."
Indianapolis police are putting power chair users in manual chairs for transit and threatening 36 hour holds with fines for storing power chairs. Even if they are lying about storage costs, Indianapolis has one of the country's most repressive police and criminal justice systems. Fines and Legal fees are excessive and ADAPTers have to change travel bookings and pay those penalties as well.
Please give all that you can to help with legal fines, equipment and travel costs.
