Pelosi Disrupted at Progressive Meeting

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's remarks to a meeting of progressive activists in Washington today were disrupted by protesters in orange shirts who shouted, "Our homes, not nursing homes." According to the Washington Post, the protesters were affiliated with ADAPT, a group that advocates for disability rights and supports the passage of the Community Choice Act, which would allow people eligible for care in a nursing home to receive similar care in their own homes through community-assisted living.

Two YouTube users have posted footage of the disruption.
