🤝 FLAP is committed to helping low-wage workers understand their rights and connect them with the support they need when workplace injuries happen.
If you or someone you know has been injured at work, FLAP is here to help: 888-451-3527 or [email protected]
Low-wage workers keep our communities running, and their safety matters. 💪
To date, 819 of @FLAPIllinois' clients have experienced work-related injuries. No worker should have to face these difficulties alone.
As technology continues to shape the nonprofit sector, @FLAPIllinois is looking forward to exploring ways AI can support while keeping our communities at the center.
AI is everywhere, but how can it be used ethically and responsibly?
On June 11, Provisio’s Changemaker Collaborative: Practical AI for Human Services will dive into responsible adoption by looking at AI readiness in practice, live AI demonstrations, peer roundtables, and more.
