Marin Center for Independent Living

Marin Center for Independent Living A disability non-profit organization promoting independence for people with disabilities.

The Marin Center for Independent Living (MCIL) was organized by a group of dedicated volunteers in 1979, following the world-changing movement for disability rights begun next door in Berkeley, CA in the 1960s. Independent Living history:
In the 1960s, Ed Roberts and several other quadriplegic students gained admission to the University of California Berkeley, began advocating for their rights and building disability community, and the first curb cuts and ramps were born. In 1972 the first Center for Independent Living was founded by disability activists, led by Ed Roberts, in Berkeley. Ed Roberts went on to lead the Department of Rehabilitation in Sacramento, and Independent Living Centers began to proliferate from coast to coast. In California, twenty-eight counties have Independent Living Centers that are united in the powerful statewide organization, the California Foundation of Independent Living Centers. All of this was the precursor to the passage, a little over a decade later, of one of the most important pieces of social legislation in the history of the United States: the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
