To  : ALL
Today the 17,000 employees of Health Care
Financing Administration and Social Security felt
what the lives of people in nursing homes are
like when ADAPT shut down all 34 entrances to
their central administration buildings on Security
Blvd in Baltimore today.  Marching down the Security
Blvd at 11 am (e.s.t.) 300 disability activists moved
in on the Social security complex (located on many
acres of wooded areas and parking lots.  At first
ADAPT blocked the entrances of HCFA which the police
had locked and were guarding but soon we went
to plan B and streamed around back.  Eventually
ADAPT had blocked all 34 entrances, 100 doors,
and no one was coming in or out.
