Disabled people representing ADAPT of Philadelphia are camping out tonight for a long struggle to get the Mayor Michael Nutter to close the archaic Philadelphia nursing home.451 people live in the institution and its time the city that loves you back loved them back and returned them to the community where everyone belongs.
The Philadelphia nursing home is the worst in the state and one of the worst in the country Violations such as syringes in beds feeces on floors and poisoning of residents have been documented for years. It is a hell where your choices are none and your rights are non existent.
Some of the protesters camping out have lived in the Philadelphia nursing home and they said they will do whatever it takes to close down this cess pit.
Nursing homes are incongruent with a modern city and a modern democracy.
To support this action which could take weeks call Michael Nutter's office on 001215-686-2181or email [log in to unmask]

Free our People!
