We are running out of time to pass and fully fund Home for Good.
The official deadline is May 31st — but our intel says Saturday may be the real last day to get this across the finish line.
That means the next few days matter more than ever❗️
Today, as part of our Digital Day of Action, we need every supporter to remind Illinois Senators and budgeteers to act now.
Email your Senator and Illinois budgeteers today using the link: https://t.co/iK2BqZZwXi

Many formerly incarcerated people aren’t able to access affordable housing because of their record. Denying justice impacted people affordable housing leads to an increase in recidivism! This is beneficial to NO ONE❗️housing the populations that need it most should be a priority in Illinois. Help us put an end to the housing struggles people face when returning home.

As Illinois legislative session comes to a close, WCRJ Members took one final trip to Springfield to seek funding for the SAFER Communities, Small Business Act, and the Child Tax Credit. You know we had to have a little fun while doing it! #OfCourse#SAFERinIL#CTC#twill
Our city is mourning the loss of another leader with the passing of educator and scholar Brent Hamlet.
Brent taught us the power of the most radical act of all — the act of love — and our communities are better because of his love and service. May he rest in eternal peace.
NOW: We're testifying before the Senate Budget Committee. Our policy director Erion Malasi & @C4RacialJustice parent leader Krystal Peters join @SenMikeSimmons to advocate for an Illinois #ChildTaxCredit.
An IL CTC would benefit 1.5M kids at a cost of 0.5% of the State's budget.
Thank you, @ElgieSims for taking the time to talk to WCRJ leaders and members during a busy day in Springfield! We hope to see you prioritize funding the SAFER Communities act in our budget.
