In Memoriam: Diane Coleman

NCIL mourns the loss of Diane Coleman, a visionary leader and beloved member of our disability rights community. Diane was a fierce advocate whose influence reached far and wide, from her early involvement with ADAPT in the 1980s to her tireless work with the Progress Center for Independent Living and her founding of Not Dead Yet. She was also a dedicated member of our Healthcare Subcommittee, where her insights and passion for justice strengthened our work.
