Nick Dupree creates music video about Community Choice Act, wants disabled people "closer to free"

You can find Nick Dupree's music video about the Community Choice Act here. For the ADAPT photo gallery go here.

Brief Video Description:

This, the Seventh Nick’s Crusade Video Blog, is a music video/photo mashup of ADAPT protests for housing and the Community Choice Act.

First protesters and their signs are shown from the Housing Action, “DUH CITY,” in Fall 2008 at the HUD offices in Washington. Then there are pictures of the Washington Action April 26-29, when ADAPT activists handcuffed themselves to the White House gate and crawled up the Capitol steps. 91 were arrested on April 27 and 99 were arrested on April 28.

The video features photos from ADAPT.org and Julie Maury, from recent ADAPT actions. The music is “Closer to Free” by The BoDeans.
