We’ll explore recent and upcoming state policy changes and how individuals and communities can advocate for impactful change. Panelists will also examine Governor Pritzker’s proposed budget, highlight key legislation we’re watching, and share tangible actions community members can take right now to protect and strengthen human services.
The event will include a discussion moderated by Lynda Schueler followed by a Q&A with audience members.
