It would be good to see people with disabilities grow a bit of a backbone and demand their civil right. I'm not sure what it will take to make it happen though. What would you suggest?

Some of us are seasoned protesters from the 60's and 70's and protested against inaccessible transport in the 90's. Disabled people have marched for their rights in NZ in the past and may do again.

I've been witness to hundreds of wheelchair users and disability rights activists storming congress, and what a sight it is! :) I have not, as yet, protested formally for the disability rights movement (or any movement for that matter) as I'm a private citizen, and quite private indeed. Yet, I'm amazed and inspired by your work and activism, and perhaps someday I'll find the strength to stand with you. I live just outside Washington DC, USA.
