 TELEPHONE: (510) 684-5866\n\nA TENT CITY PROTEST\n\n\nWe Demand an End to 
 the fear and harassment \n\nof people with disabilities, seniors, 
 caregivers and allies.\n\n Beginning June 22, 2010 and continuing on the 
 median \n\nstrip of Adeline Street at Russell Street \n\nin Berkeley, 
 California\n\n\nAn open-air, open-ended protest of the California 
 Governor’s proposed state \n\nbudget with its juggernaut of draconian 
 cuts to California’s In-Home \n\nSupportive Services (IHSS), Medi-Cal, 
 and other critical supports for \n\nCalifornia's most vulnerable 
 people.\n\n\nArnieVille is organized by\n\n CUIDO ~ Communities United in 
 Defense of Olmstead\n\n\nEleven years ago the Supreme Court ruled that the 
 unnecessary segregation of \n\nindividuals with disabilities in 
 institutions constitutes discrimination based on \n\ndisability (Olmstead 
 v. L.C.). California’s programs supporting elderly and \n\ndisabled 
 persons including those with mental and intellectual disabilities, are 
 \n\nmodels for the entire country.  But these programs, including Medi-Cal, 
 are \nbeing dismantled before our horrified eyes.\n\n\nConsider 
 California's IHSS program. This exceptional program pays caregivers to 
 \n\nhelp elderly and disabled persons in their homes rather than 
 subsidizing nursing \n\nhome care, which is five times more expensive. 
 Governor Arnold \n\nSchwarzenegger has proposed cutting IHSS funding by up 
 to 40%.  Currently, \n\n490,000 disabled and elderly people receive IHSS 
 services; if these cuts are \n\napproved, tens of thousands of us will end 
 up in nursing homes, emergency \n\nrooms, homeless, or dead.\n\n~~~~
