Register to AttendWe envision a world free from barriers and discrimination – where disability is a respected and natural part of the human experience and people with disabilities are included and valued.
We ignite disability power and pride, provide critical services, and break down systemic barriers to create a stronger, more inclusive society
We’re hosting a public forum from 1 – 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 5, when candidates running for Cook County State’s Attorney and the Clerk of the Circuit Court will address how they plan to serve the disability community.
If Illinoisans with disabilities don’t get counted, or are undercounted, during the 2020 Census, we will lose government money critical to our independence. We cannot allow our friends, families, neighbors, and allies to be left out of #Census2020. No matter your citizenship status, gender identity, orientation, or disability you can be counted, and you should be counted.
