BCIL Annual Meeting 2024

Immigrants’ Rights – A Critical Discussion at the 2024 BCIL Annual Meeting 

At BCIL’s annual meeting on Wednesday, November 20, at 6:30 p.m., we will feature Laura Rotolo, the Field Director for the American Civil Liberties Union, who’ll discuss immigrants’ rights and their intersection with disability rights.

Why immigrants’ rights? Because BCIL provides services to many immigrants, and in a time where there’s significant immigrant bashing, we will note that many of our staff are immigrants and that much of the workforce in health care, especially the PCA program, includes high numbers of immigrants. It’s absolutely no stretch to say that immigrants are a critical part of the independent living picture.

The meeting will be held virtually this year. Along with the discussion on immigrants’ rights, we will review the past year and update you on current advocacy campaigns. We’ll also have video’s marking BCIL’s 50th anniversary.
