Over 100 people were arrested in Washington on Monday during a series of unrelated demonstrations. Ninety-one disability rights activists were arrested after members of the group ADAPT chained their wheelchairs to the White House fence. The protest was held to raise awareness of the Community Choice Act, pending legislation that they said would allow disabled individuals to use their Medicaid payments for community-based services.
