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."

Don't let them close down DIY shows!

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 2008-05-04 10:12

tapenbones The governments of Rochester and Monroe County are at war with their own citizens, and it's about time that we started fighting back. It was bad enough when the county closed down the DIY music shows in the parks, and when the city closed down A/V space. Then the DIY Rochester website (on MySpace) went on "hiatus," and then the Treehouse got shut down.

Hitler used Bible Passages to Hoodwink Christians

Homeland Security is going to use the same Plan on Americans. What was good for Hilter, is good for George Bush. Is there any difference?

A Shocking KSLA 12 news report: Pastors to cite Romans 13 as reason for public to obey government orders, relinquish guns and be taken to camps - Auschwitz? Death Camps?

Account Creation Policy Change

Rochester Indymedia is now requiring editor approval for account creation.

We came to this decision after we had repeated spam posted to our website that caused difficulty with the website's functioning.  We will still have open publishing and keep our site as nonrestrictive and accessible as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.  As before, we will continue to be Rochester's grassroots news and education site.  Thank you for your continued support and remember, "Don't hate the media, be the media!"

Editorial Meeting Times / Locations

The Rochester Independent Media Center (R-IMC) is no longer meeting regularly.
We will set up meetings by necessity and appointment. Please contact us at rochesterindymedia@rocus.org.
Our home is still the Flying Squirrel Community Space at 285 Clarissa St. Occasionally, we hold meetings at RCTV located at 21 Gorham Street.
