WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Capitol Police arrested 74 wheelchair-bound protesters with the disability rights group ADAPT at several locations of House office buildings on Monday. Sgt. Kimberly Schneider, spokeswoman for the U.S. Capitol Police, told CNN that all 74 individuals were charged with unlawful assembly.

One group of about 30 protesters gathered outside an entrance to the Rayburn building. Several protesters chanted "free our people" and waved signs that read "there's no place like home."

Capitol Police closed the entrance to the building and eventually arrested the group of protesters.

Schneider said Capitol Police moved personnel to the ground level of the Rayburn garage to process those being arrested because the area was more accessible to those in wheelchairs. A staff member from the House Physician's Office was standing by in case anyone needed medical attention, but Schneider said the arrests "were really no different than any other large scale arrests."

Earl Woodward, one of the ADAPT members outside the Rayburn House office building, said the group assembled about 500 people in Washington to urge Congress to allow people with disabilities to make their own decisions about their housing and that "money should follow the person" in terms of government benefits. Woodward said the group was urging Members of Congress to move forward with legislation on the issue. The House of Representatives was not in session on Monday.
