About

Founded in 1984, Chicago ADAPT is one of the longest-running chapters of the ADAPT collective, which fights for disability rights. ADAPT's motto is "Free Our People!" and its central push is for an end to the institutional bias that results in disabled people being isolated from the community. Chicago ADAPT also takes on related issues, such as affordable, accessible housing and adequate pay for the Personal Attendants (PAs) that ensure quality of life for people with disabilities in their homes.
