Activism
Phone Banking
In June 2024, we organized a phone banking event to rally support for Illinois bill HB4895, aiming to bring climate change education to public high schools starting in the 2025-2026 school year. This bill is crucial for preparing students to understand both the scientific and social impacts of climate change, empowering them to address environmental challenges. Our volunteers reached out to hundreds of community members, urging them to contact their representatives and advocate for this vital step toward climate literacy. Together, we amplified our voices for a sustainable future. Learn more about HB4895 here.
Phone Banking
In April 2024, we organized a phone banking event to support Illinois bill SB2690, which seeks to remove barriers for refugee students applying to public institutions of higher education. This bill requires that universities cover or reimburse transcript evaluation fees needed during the admissions process, promoting greater access to higher education for refugees. Our team of volunteers reached out to community members, encouraging them to contact representatives and advocate for this important cause. Together, we worked to build a more inclusive admissions process for refugee students. Learn more about SB2690 here.
