Indy TV #5: A Conversation with Disability Rights Activists

This week's Indy TV is a conversation with two Disability Rights activists; Anita Cameron, a systems advocate from the Center for Disability Rights and Mustafa Hayes, a self advocate who has received services through CDR. Both are members of the Rochester Chapter of ADAPT. CDR is part of a national network of independent living centers that has been operating in Rochester for the past decade. ADAPT is a national Grassroots Disability Rights group devoted to eliminating the institutional bias through direct action.

In our conversation, Anita Cameron outlined the many layers of advocacy tactics that she uses in her work. She explained when the direct action tactics that ADAPT has become famous for are deployed: "You always see the end results of what ADAPT is doing. It all starts with letter writing, meetings, things like that. Usually when the protests come in is when the powers that be or our 'targets' either refuse to meet with us or refuse to work with us. When that happens, its time to, as we say, hit the streets, get into the trenches."

Many candidates, corporate media obscures U.S. presidential politics

Third political parties do not compete on a level playing field in U.S. politics; the corporate media will spend more money in one day, promoting the campaigns of Senators John McCain, Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton, than the amount of money third political parties will spend in one year to promote their candidates, combined. While third party candidates are spending hundreds and thousands of dollars on flyers and brochures, big corporations are spending millions to keep the names of their candidates in the public’s view.
