On Tuesday, July 26, the Unified Taxi Workers Alliance (UTWA), Disabled in Action and ADAPT/Liberty Resources, Inc. honored the 21st Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act by rallying in protest of the Philadelphia Parking Authority’s failure to purchase wheelchair accessible taxis.  See a photo slideshow of the rally here.
