"No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment."

Unless you're a psychiatrist who operates above the law, torturing patients with ECT and iatrogenically damaging them with mind-altering drugs.

Reality of "Non-Profit Capture
"What you experienced is a well-known phenomenon called the "non-profit industrial complex."
It happens when: Organizations prioritize funding over mission: Non-profits rely on state grants or donations, making them hesitant to do the disruptive, uncomfortable direct action that National ADAPT is famous for.
They try to co-opt grassroots energy:
They use the passion and hard work of local activists to boost their own visibility or secure grants, without giving the activists actual decision-making power.

They dilute the message: They shift the focus from systemic change and liberation to service delivery and compliance.
That's why ADAPT Kentucky is NOT affiliated with any local or statewide disability related non profits.
We need allies. Not a hostile takeover. Nice try.

What is ADAPT's mission?

ADAPT's mission is to promote the civil and human rights of people with disabilities through nonviolent direct action, grassroots education, and legislative policy advocacy. Their primary goal is to ensure that individuals with disabilities have the freedom to live in their communities, rather than institutions or nursing homes, and to advocate for services that support independent living.

Key aspects of ADAPT's mission:

- Community-Based Services: They promote community-based services that allow individuals with disabilities to receive the support they need in their own homes and communities.
- End Institutionalization: ADAPT works to end the practice of institutionalizing people with disabilities, advocating for policies and services that support community living.
- Promote Disability Inclusion: They strive to create a society that values and includes people with disabilities, recognizing their contributions and worth.
- Nonviolent Direct Action: ADAPT uses nonviolent direct action, including civil disobedience, to bring attention to disability rights issues and push for change .
