Independent Living
The Independent Living Institute (ILI) in Brooklyn, NY, is dedicated to promoting the self-determination and equal opportunities of individuals with disabilities through education, advocacy, and project activities. Founded on the principles of the Independent Living movement, ILI empowers disabled individuals to demand the same choices and control in their lives as their non-disabled peers.
In addition to its advocacy efforts, ILI administers various projects such as Disabled Refugees Welcome and Disability Rights Defenders, aiming to enhance integration and legal protections for people with disabilities. The organization also honors the legacy of its late founder, Adolf Ratzka, through initiatives like the Adolf Ratzka Memorial Fund for Migrants with Disabilities, ensuring continued support for individuals facing challenges in their pursuit of independence.
