Tate:They can come and join us with Community Now!, a new nonprofit (communitynowfreedom.org).

Anner (joking):Or, you know, they could disable themselves. That would be the ideal thing, to have lots of people who are falling down stairs and getting hit by buses just to be part of the movement. That's what I see for the future.
