Disability Pride Month
Honoring our Roots. Celebrating our Future.
Over Disability Pride Month, the Center for Independent Living (CIL) will honor those who built the roots of the CIL and the Independent Living and Disability Rights movements.
We will also share the programs and people building the CIL today to continue to secure the civil and full human rights of people with disabilities so they can live their full lives in a supportive community. By expanding inclusion for people with diverse disabilities, the CIL expands inclusion for all.
Over Disability Pride month, the CIL has set a goal of raising $20,000 in support of our programs, advocacy and services.
