All people, regardless of the severity of their disabilities should live in the community with the support they need.
THEREFORE,
We believe that all institutions, both private and public, should be closed.Adopted by Illinois Campaign for Freedom

every person should be treated equally;
all institutions should be closed;
every person should be called a person first,
every person should be with people who care;
every person should go to a regular school;
every person has the right to speak for him/herself;
every person has the right to make their own decisions; and,
everyone should have the opportunity to live in the community and have real jobs for real pay.
