Which of the following was a tactic used by the Disabled American Civil Rights movement?

• A. Rally and protest
• B. Sit-in/protest of a federal building for Section 504, also was the 1st major + large sit-in
• C. Many other groups supported this protest
• D. Sit-in protests to include in work programs

Answer: (D)

The tactic hinges on using sit-in protests to push for inclusion in Federally funded programs, specifically under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Activists organized coordinated sit-ins at federal buildings in 1977 to force the government to implement regulations banning disability discrimination and to ensure disabled people could participate in work programs and employment opportunities funded by the federal government. This approach—occupying space to demand concrete inclusion in work programs and equal access—was a defining method that brought visibility and pressure to enactment and enforcement of Section 504. While rallies and broader protests occurred and other groups offered support, the sit-in strategy directly targeted work-program inclusion, making it the best description of the tactic here.
