2017 NCIL Conference

8/9/2017

Comments

 

This administration is wanting to make drastic changes to our healthcare programs. So CID sent advocates to the 2017 NCIL Conference in Washington DC, to represent our San Mateo County consumers. Thank You goes to CID staff members WIPA Coordinator Kellie Hanson, ILG Alex Madrid, Systems Change Advocate Ben McMullin and Programs Manager Alex Manieri for their hard work and dedication. 

About NCIL

Mission: NCIL advances independent living and the rights of people with disabilities.
Vision: NCIL envisions a world in which people with disabilities are valued equally and participate fully.

​The National Council on Independent Living is the longest-running national cross-disability, grassroots organization run by and for people with disabilities. Founded in 1982, NCIL represents thousands of organizations and individuals including: Centers for Independent Living (CILs), Statewide Independent Living Councils (SILCs), individuals with disabilities, and other organizations that advocate for the human and civil rights of people with disabilities throughout the United States.An outcome of the national Disability Rights and Independent Living Movements, NCIL was founded to embody the values of disability culture and Independent Living philosophy, which creates a new social paradigm and emphasizes that people with disabilities are the best experts on their own needs, that they have crucial and valuable perspective to contribute to society, and are deserving of equal opportunity to decide how to live, work, and take part in their communities.
Since its inception, NCIL has carried out its mission by assisting member CILs and SILCs in building their capacity to promote social change, eliminate disability-based discrimination, and create opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in the legislative process to affect change. NCIL promotes a national advocacy agenda set by its membership and provides input and testimony on national disability policy.
Sadly, our vision of equality has not yet been fully realized.  Many people with disabilities remain imprisoned in nursing homes and our civil rights laws are undermined and devalued on an increasing basis. As a membership organization, NCIL needs the support of all our nation’s advocates in order to achieve our goals and advance the Disability Rights Movement.
