The San Francisco group worked with Washington-based American Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities (ACCD) to organize a Section 504 rally at Lafayette Park opposite the White House on April 26, 1977.
Two weeks into the occupation, San Francisco protesters sent a delegation to Washington. They elected twenty-five people representing different disabilities and racial backgrounds to educate and pressure politicians.
