Syracuse Answer Coalition

Syracuse Answer Coalition The Syracuse Answer Coalition has been organizing against oppression, exploitation, and imperialism since 2010. Join us! The A.N.S.W.E.R.

Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) was formed on September 14, 2001. It is a coalition of hundreds of organizations and prominent individuals and scores of organizing centers in cities and towns across the country. Its national steering committee represents major national organizations that have campaigned against U.S. intervention in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and A

sia, and organizations that have campaigned for civil rights and for social and economic justice for working and poor people inside the United States. In Syracuse, we have participated in, initiated and led many struggles including the movement to Seize BP, free Palestine, defend immigrant rights, end the prison-industrial complex and policy brutality, and stop the police from placing our city under 24/7 surveillance. We organize regular meetings at the Southwest Community Center, study groups, demonstrations and more. To get involved in the Syracuse ANSWER Coalition, contact [email protected].

'The house will also model an alternative living space for disabled people. In the 60s and 70s, many were hopeful that deinstitutionalization would end the widespread segregation and abuse of disabled people. Today, however, vast numbers of disabled people are still segregated and abused in nursing homes and, particularly disabled people of color, in prisons. Deinstitutionalization was capitalized on as an excuse to privatize care through for-profit nursing homes. In part due to lobbying, the nursing home industry reaps massive profits from medicaid and medicare payments, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of disabled and elderly people in nursing homes across the U.S. would prefer to live in their homes among the community. The Radically Accessible Living Project envisions and hopes to enact an option for disabled people beyond being trapped in nursing homes or forced to live with families, who aren’t provided adequate social supports, into adulthood.'

Crucially, the house will also be a space for organizing against and resisting disability oppression in the community more broadly.
