<div><b>UJP House Party Fundraiser</b></div>
<div>
<div><b>to support the Encuentro5 accessibility project</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<b>Admission</b>: $15 and a dish for potluck dinner; entertainment will be provided by E5</div>
<div> </div>
<b>Goal:</b> 40 people contributing $15, 30 people at the event, with fundraising pitch raise $1000 for E5
<div>
<br><b>Reason:</b> The disability rights movement started in the 1960s; on a federal level, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provided comprehensive civil rights protections. This recognized the necessity of guaranteeing full enjoyment of human rights and equality for the disabled. In Massachusetts, new public and private business construction generally must be accessible to those in wheelchairs. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The progressive and left movements, while agreeing in principle, often have lower cost venues in older buildings that are a challenge to accessibility. Encuentro 5, a principal events site for the Boston movement, is not wheelchair accessible; however, recognizing the importance of including all our sisters and brothers, E5 has established a committee to raise funds to construct an accessible entranceway and bathroom. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Occupy Boston has several offices at E5 and also recognizes the principle of accessibility. Many UJP and peace movement events are held at E5. Consequently, UJP is joining the campaign to raise funds for the E5 accessibility project which will not only create access but serve as an inspiring example of progressive organizations working together to achieve a greater good.<br>
