Disability is not separate from humanity. It's a natural part of the human experience.

Often times, disabilities can be a part of natural genetic variation.

Celebrating our unique experiences and identities makes us stronger, prepares us for a world full of differences, and promotes community and understanding.

Help restore state funding for Centers for Independent Living!

NJ's 12 Centers for Independent Living are facing a $3 million loss in funding in the state's budget proposed by the Governor. This funding loss, if approved, will have a devastating impact on the services and assistance that ACI and NJ's other centers provide to people with disabilities and their families throughout the state.

If passed by the state legislature, the funding loss will take effect on July 1st. We must act quickly to prevent this from happening!

We encourage you to make calls or write letters to legislators! Visit our website for more info on how you can help: https://www.adacil.org/restore-funding-for-cils

We will also be having a rally to save CIL funding on May 6th at 12 PM at the NJ State House Annex in Trenton. For more information, visit our website: https://www.adacil.org/upcoming-events-list/no-cuts-to-cils-rally

ACI thanks you for showing your support!
