LIFE at RCIL
Advocacy/Core Services
The recent racially motivated killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others are the latest incidents of racist attacks against Black people in America.
RCIL is a civil rights organization fighting for the rights of individuals with disabilities to live, work and participate in the community.
Racism and discrimination of any form must not be tolerated, and significant change is long overdue. Dehumanizing people makes us all weak.
We stand with the Black community against racism and the inequalities in America, that disproportionally affect communities of color and disabled individuals.
We encourage everyone to vote in every upcoming election to support candidates that will force change.
