Road To Freedom 2008
The Road to Freedom bus continues its cross-country journey to promote disability rights as fundamental civil and human rights. In 2008 we have had the Road To Freedom bus at marker events such as the ADAPT 25th anniversary event in Washington, DC and the National ADA Symposium in St. Louis, MO. We have been back to Tennessee, North Dakota, New York, and more. Look for us at the NCIL Conference and join us as we lead a convoy of disability rights supporters from Washington, DC to Cleveland, Ohio for the Presidential Candidates Disability Forum on July 26, the anniversary of the ADA.
In August, the Road To Freedom bus will join the Independence Ride across the State of Michigan from Holland to Ann Arbor August 7 – 10th.
