In light of developments in the outbreak of COVID-19 across the country, Access Living will continue to support our community in a multitude of ways, including creating and maintaining a resource list for the disability community.
Resource ListAccess Living is a center of service, advocacy, and social change for people with disabilities led and run by people with disabilities.
We ignite disability power and pride, provide critical services, and break down systemic barriers to create a stronger, more inclusive society.
We 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.
On March 5, 2020 Access Living hosted the four candidates for State’s Attorney and the three for Clerk Thursday afternoon at a nonpartisan forum where they answered questions submitted by voters on issues affecting people with disabilities. All candidates for both races were invited to attend.
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.
Please note that Access Living is sensitive to how quickly things are changing and we are in the process of assessing our options for this event. We are deeply grateful to all of our current sponsors and look forward to welcoming additional supporters at all levels. Please join us! Let’s show our resilience through this crisis and honor the legacy of Marca Bristo and our 40th Anniversary together.
