 * ILCNSCA represents the voice of those of all ages living with disabilities of all types. We are roughly 20% of the US population. We have only been recognized as having some civil rights as of 1990, with the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). ILCNSCA is an agency run by and for those of us living with disabilities, we meet all the federal standards and assurances of an independent living center put into Federal Law, the Rehabilitation Services Act, written by the efforts of the disability rights movement of the 1970s. Today there has been some opportunities for those living with disabilities to live in our own homes, to be employed, to be married, to vote, to be active members of our communities, and to live with whomever we choose, yet many of us are still discriminated against every day, forced to live in institutions (group homes, nursing homes, homeless shelters, jails, prisons instead of given access to the same rights as non-disabled citizens. As one of more than 400 centers for independent living across the US, all funded with federal tax dollars, and consumer controlled with a majority of our Board members those who self disclose they have disabilities and a majority of our staff living as well with disabilities, we hold to tenets of choice, self-determination, dignity of risk, and empowerment. As fundamentally a civil rights/peer support agency, ILCNSCA ask Wikipedia to help us stop the unconscious and systematic oppression of people with disabilities and assist us in our social justice battle for all citizens to have full access to our communities and cultures opportunities. And if you do not have a disability today, you at some point in your life will for a disability, short or long term, as disability is a part of our natural lives, as our functional abilities all shift as we age. Be a part of the solution for inclusion of all Wikipedia, include ILCNSCA page and other disability rights pages, such as the National Council on Independent Living in your information pool.
