RISILC Recruiting New Members

The RI Statewide Independent Living Council (RISILC) is a Governor-appointed council that empowers the community through advocacy, education, planning, and collaboration. The SILC promotes the Independent Living philosophy and strives to achieve a Rhode Island where people with disabilities have the opportunity to fully access and participate in the community.

Independent Living is a philosophy and movement of people with disabilities that works for self-determination, equal opportunities, and self- respect. For people with disabilities, it means being able to live in the way they choose and in the community of their choice. It is about having control over one’s day-to-day life.
