The Alliance partners with Evergreen ADAPT, ARC of King County, and other local non-profits to organize transportation and logistical support for several hundred ADAPT activists that came to Seattle during a meeting of the National Governors Association in July of 2004. ADAPT held a rally and march through downtown, in which many of the Alliance's staff and board members participated.
