RAMP joins the entire Disability Community in mourning the loss of Andrés Gallegos. Though his work in legal advocacy, Andrés mentored and supported many of the current leaders in the Disability Community in Illinois. His efforts to eliminate barriers to access, including barriers faced by people in RAMPs service area, will be felt for years to come. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him and all who have or will benefit from his efforts to create an accessible and inclusive society.m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=896125485353507&id=100048681927295&mibextid=Nif5ozAccess Living is deeply saddened to share that Andres Gallegos passed away on December 1, surrounded by loved ones. This is a profound loss for the disability community and for Access Living.
Andres dedicated his life to advancing equity for people with disabilities. He was a true champion of Access Living, serving as the Chairman of our Board of Directors and chairing many of our significant events. His wisdom and expertise greatly enriched and advanced our work.
As a force for disability rights, Andres left an indelible mark, both here in Chicago and as the Chairman of the National Council on Disability. Known for his strength and kindness, he was always a welcome presence at our building. He touched the lives of everyone who crossed paths with him.
We are profoundly grateful for the time and passion he shared with us. Andres was a powerhouse, and his absence is deeply felt. He is already deeply missed. Rest in Power, Andres.
