Please Help Equip for Equality Identify the Legal Advocacy Needs for People with Disabilities in Illinois


Equip for Equality wants your input on how we can best meet the legal advocacy needs of people with disabilities. There are 3 ways for you to let us know what you think.

1. In Person: We are hosting two Public Meetings - one in Springfield and one in Chicago. These meetings allow people with disabilities, family members, service providers and other interested parties to give us input on how to allocate our resources. A sign language interpreter will be present. Let us know if you need other accommodations to participate in the meeting when you register on our website at www.equipforequality.org. Or, you can contact Cecille at 312-895-7346.

We carefully consider all input when deciding how to allocate our resources. And we've started new initiatives as a result of past input.

We hope you will participate as we work together to advance the civil and human rights of people with disabilities in Illinois.
