The Independent Living Philosophy

The Philosophy of Independent Living is to promote:
Consumer Control
Peer Support
Self-help
Self-determination
Equal access
Individual and Systems advocacy

These things will maximize the leadership, empowerment, independence and productivity
of individuals with disabilities and assure the full integration and inclusion of individuals with
disabilities into the mainstream of American Society.

We must scrupulously guard the civil rights and civil liberties of all citizens, whatever their background. We must remember that any oppression, any injustice, any hatred is a wedge designed to attack our civilization.
~Franklin Delano Roosevelt
