The real estate development mega-corporation Panoramic Interests seeks to demolish the historic mural commemorating the Independent Living Movement at the former Center for Independent Living at 2539 Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, CA. This mural expressed the new freedom within the grasp of disabled people and featured Berkeley citizens prominent in the Independent Living Movement in the early 1980s, including Mary Ann Heiserman, Dale Dahl, Michael Williams, and FRANCO.
Given the historic significance of the site, we are petitioning Panoramic Interests to fund a monument to celebrate the notable achievement of the Berkeley disabled community in advancing the global Independent Living Movement.
