Solidarity: Everybody In.July 25-28, 2016; Grand Hyatt, Washington, DCLogo – NCIL: National Council on Independent LivingSponsorship Opportunities: Packages, Exhibits, Advertising.Annual Conference on Independent Living 2016A Message from the Executive DirectorThis year’s theme represents a call for unity among people with disabilities and our true allies. It is with great pride and certainty in the power of the Independent Living community that we present the 2016 Annual Conference on Independent Living: Solidarity – Everybody In. ?Solidarity is essential to building and advancing the Independent Living Movement, and necessary for overcoming the challenges our community faces today. ?We must unite to defeat the discrimination in policies and attitudes that led to the institutional bias, employment discrimination, and a lack of accessible housing and transportation - just to name a few of the barriers facing our community today. ?We must embrace solidarity with all of our brothers and sisters with disabilities and prioritize the participation of people of color, youth, and other multiply-marginalized people with disabilities who remain severely under-represented in our Movement. ?We must also continue our commitment to consumer control as we monitor and advocate for the successful implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act in the spirit of the law as crafted by our advocates and allies. ?We must support people with disabilities organizing for Independent Living around the world. We have a lot to share with and to learn from this global network of advocates. ?We echo the words of Justin Dart:?“I call for solidarity among all who love justice, all who love life, to create a revolution that will empower every single human being to govern his or her life, to govern the society and to be fully productive of life quality for self and for all.”Kelly BucklandExecutive DirectorNational Council on Independent Living?Ready to make a commitment??Visit our online form () to select the sponsorship, advertisement, exhibit space, and merchandise you’d like to purchase, or give us a call to find out more about the options presented in this booklet.?Tim Fuchs, Operations Director- (202) 207-0334 (V) x 1105- (202) 207-0341 (FAX)- (877) 525-3400 (Toll Free)- 2013 H Street NW, 6th Floor / Washington, DC 20006- tim@- About the Conference?About the National Council on Independent Living?NCIL is the longest-running national cross-disability, grassroots organization run by and for people with disabilities. Founded in 1982, NCIL represents thousands of individuals with disabilities and organizations, including Centers for Independent Living (CILs),?Statewide Independent Living Councils?(SILCs), and other organizations that advocate for the human and civil rights of Americans with disabilities. ?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 perspective to contribute to society, and are deserving of equal opportunity to decide how to live, work, and take part in their communities. NCIL envisions a world in which people with disabilities are valued equally and participate fully.?Since its inception, NCIL has carried out its mission by assisting our members to build their capacity to promote social change, eliminate 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.?Images:A group of advocates and legislators poses for a photo in front of the US Capitol BuildingA power chair user speaks from the stage at the 2015 Rally in front of the US Capitol BuildingNCIL Members march to the Capitol with the parade-size Justin Dart puppetNCIL President Lou Ann Kibbee hugs Allie Cannington during the 2015 Awards LuncheonA woman who uses a wheelchair dances with a man during the ADA25 CelebrationAttendance Profile?As the only cross-age and cross-disability national advocacy organization, NCIL’s Annual Conference draws individuals from all 50 states of all ages and disabilities.
