Disability Network Capital Area is part of a larger network of Centers for Independent Living bringing disability awareness and advocacy efforts to the forefront. We work on a larger scale to help governments and businesses make changes that benefit not just those with disabilities but everyone in the community. The independent living movement helps strengthen the idea that “Nothing about us, without us.”
