MILC has the important but unfulfilled Mission of working to ensure that we and our Nation’s more that 45 million fellow people experiencing disabilities are one day able to participate in, and be considered as equals in, all areas and aspects of the American way of life. Our goal: to end that discrimination and exclusion, and ensure that people with disabilities have the opportunity to prove ourselves equal. With that; Independent Living Centers are committed to working everyday at effecting the Systems & Attitudinal Change it will take for people with disabilities to be uniformly treated, considered and viewed as the people that we ultimately are—which is ordinary everyday Americans!
