Our Executive Director Manny Rodriguez recently presented during a press conference on the License to Work initiative, and his remarks were so powerful that we wanted to share with you. A driver’s license is a passport to a job. Over 80% of Illinoisans drive to work, and data shows that up to 42% of individuals lose their jobs following the suspension of their license. On March 31, the Transit Table coalition will present a new report detailing significant progress towards ending debt-based driver’s license suspension in Illinois, and illustrate the major racial equity implications of reform.
WHEN: March 31 at 1:30pm Central WHERE: Register to join: zoom.us/meeting/register/tJIkd-ioqD0iG9wb37WFuMr1Ug2aJCXXJUFT The event will also be streamed live on the Chicago Jobs Council’s Facebook page: facebook.com/ChicagoJobsCouncil/
