Police escorted protesters in wheelchairs out of a state office building late Tuesday afternoon after a group advocating for disability rights blocked its main entrance.
Around 50 protesters filled the lobby of 1 Ashburton Place, and the protesters said their group included about 200 people, some who were on the building's 11th floor and others who were outside.
The disability-rights organization ADAPT organized the demonstration, bringing in members from the Massachusetts chapter and chapters in other states.
According to the Disability Policy Commission, the protest was held to demand that the state "negotiate in good faith with advocates to save the Personal Care Assistance program that serves as a lifeline for 26,000 people with disabilities to live in the community outside of nursing homes."
