Advocacy

Picture
 Advancing Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Peaceful Communities

We're proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with business and community leaders, corporate partners, foundations, friends, and allies to further our shared mission. Together, we are using our platforms and networks to amplify a powerful call to action at a time when it's needed most.

Chicago Construction Workforce Equity Plan
WE're fighting for more equitable and inclusive hiring practices within the unionized construction trades. We've joined together with Chicago Women In Trades to see that all workers receive economic security, competitive wages, and full benefits. As part of the Chicago Construction Workforce Equity Coalition, we're aiming to create life-sustaining employment opportunities for all. To read a draft of  the proposed ordinance, click here. 
The Skills Agenda
​WE believe everyone should have access to safe jobs that offer family-sustaining wages with benefits, as well as opportunities for career advancement. Under the Skills Agenda, we've joined forces with a coalition of career pathway stakeholders to ensure Illinois' Equitable Recovery supports our most marginalized employees and job seekers.
The Transit Table 
​WE are honored to have a seat at the Transit Table, a coalition of stakeholders working to eliminate transportation barriers that keep people impoverished and unemployed. We're proud to have helped Governor JB Pritzker sign the License2Work Act, eliminating license suspension for most non-moving violations.
Bail Reform
WE are committed to reforming our broken judicial system and proud to have helped pass of the Pre-trial Fairness Act. We've joined a coalition of stakeholders working to end mass incarceration, unethical sentencing practices, and inhumane jail conditions.
