Hello young disability activists,

A group of young leaders are working on a presentation for the National Council on Independent Living (NCIL) conference. We have the opportunity to present twice at this year's conference. We will share what young people want for the future and our direction for the Disability Rights Movement.

We really want this vision statement to represent what you and other young people think is important for the Movement. We've created a short survey. Please take time to share any ideas or comments. Many times older adults in the disability community say that they want to see us "take the reins" [take control] but they don't really listen to what we have to say about the Movement. This is our chance!

If you could fill out the survey (the link is below) before May 20th 2007 we would appreciate it. Please email us at: surveydisculture@gmail.com if you have any questions or if you want to be part of a conference call to talk more about disability culture and disability community.

We would also like to hear from adults in the disability community. We know you all have good ideas to for the future of the community too.
