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 still incarcerated in nursing homes and other institutions, so many are still living below the poverty level, so many are being denied basic human rights, including the right to live... The Americans with Disabilities Act has been eviscerated in our courts, its promise of equality still remains unfulfilled... We still face prejudice and discrimination in every area of our lives on a daily basis...

So we have no choice but to keep fighting. Activism must come first.
