First Ever
Free Yo Momma Day!
May 7th 2004

(MEMPHIS, May 7, 2004) Unfortunately the state of Tennessee still locks to many mothers away into nursing homes. Instead of providing supports so we can keep our loved ones at home the state will gladly bow to the nursing home lobby and lock our moms away.

So to poke fun at the state, to shed light on the travesties of nursing homes and celebrate our mothers ADAPT of Tennessee will open the Home for People All Buggered Up and hold our first ever Free Yo Momma Day!

You can admit your mom into our nursing home for the day, then show her the love and support she deserves by raising bail money to set her free or you can admit yourself, especially if you’re a mom, and then call on your loved ones (family, friends anyone with a few bucks) to bring you bail money in order to set you free. All the bail money will go to ADAPT of Tennessee which continues the fight to end the nursing home bias.

All residents of the Home for PABU’s must wear their official Home for PABU t-shirt (even if they have to leave to go get their bail money), keep their name tags on and adhere to all Home for PABU rules and regulations.

The Home for People All Buggered Up, will be located at the Memphis Center for Independent Living (MCIL) at 1633 Madison Avenue. Special thanks to MCIL in their advocacy efforts and allowing us to use their facilities for the day.

For more information please call 726-6404 and ask for info on Free Yo Momma Day!

Free Yo Momma Day, is a use of satire by ADAPT of Tennessee to shed light on a system that continues to segregate us from loved ones and to raise money to change that system.
