PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) A number of local candidates running for office in Oregon took part in the Roll for Our Rights event in downtown Portland Saturday.
For the tour, candidates ventured around the city using a wheelchair. The event was guided by disability activists and meant to raise awareness of residents with disabilities.

Part of the reform the activists hope to push is the Americans with Disabilities Act laws, which have not been updated since 1994.
