From the National Down Syndrome Congress

Video footage from NDSC's " We're More Alike Than Different " campaign will be

included in tonight's edition of ABC's " 20/20: What Would You Do? " at 10 PM ET/9

PM CT.

The segment will use an actor with Down syndrome to portray a grocery store

bagger who is berated by a customer (another actor). The question posed by the

television show is, what will other shoppers do? Hidden cameras reveal the

answer and speak to the need for us all to advocate for workers with

disabilities. In a clip from the NDSC video, self advocates Christi Hockel and

Mark Hublar are shown at their respective real-life jobs at Safeway and Wal

Mart, demonstrating that employees with Down syndrome are more like their

colleagues than they are different.

Ask your friends and neighbors to watch tonight's show and then ask them, " what

would you do? " You might discover that you have a wonderful opportunity to

educate and advocate!
