An Activist Member

"I was in Madison last week for meetings of the Independent Living Council of Wisconsin.

Fellow board members, 250 other educators, leaders, program developers, and activists are meeting together and with legislators to discuss:
  • human and disability rights,
  • education,
  • employment,
  • economic development,
  • housing,
  • transportation,
  • health care,
  • and other supports.
We are also providing leadership training and grassroots training for various groups. Energizing, essential and empowering for all involved. These issues touch all of our lives."
