NCIL March to the Capitol The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.* Dear Advocates and Friends, It took four police officers to carry me and my power chair up and down the stairs of the Burley, Idaho Courthouse in 1979. One round trip was enough to convince them to move the hearings that we were protesting to an accessible location. Our subsequent lawsuit resulted in the accessible Courthouse that stands today. On the eve of the 20th Anniversary of the ADA, our community is overwhelmed with a sense of pride for our accomplishments and determination to finally bring full social, economic, and political equality to people with disabilities. This July, we will celebrate the future we work toward: a day when our brothers and sisters breathe the free air outside institutions, regain the strength of independence, and bring down “the shameful wall of exclusion” once and for all! This year’s Annual Conference, 20 Years of the ADA: The Fight Goes On!, is designed to give us the tools to do just that. In the two decades since President George H.W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law on July 26, 1990, we have seen access and attitudes improve exponentially. However, successes like the Olmstead Decision have been dampened by a lack of action or urgency by Federal and state governments. And recent state budget cuts have actually moved us backward! The promises of equal opportunity in hiring and employment have been decimated by a skeptical judiciary.  And the substantial increases in accessible housing and transportation are hardly exciting considering that nationwide, the lack of these vital resources remains the largest barrier to the independence. It is in the context of this balance, between success and continuing challenges, that we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It is my sincerest hope that you will join us for this week-long event, especially during this crucial time for our community. The 2010 NCIL Annual Conference will be an opportunity to reinforce the resolve that will be needed during the coming years. This July we will bring our message to Capitol Hill: Freedom! Now! Sincerely, Kelly Buckland, Executive Director *Quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. [image: Kelly Buckland and police officers on the court house steps in 1979] [image: Kelly Buckland is stopped by police at the 2008 NCIL March to the Capitol] Registration Please complete and return the conference registration form on the inside back cover of this brochure (page 15).
