*Registration is open for all three audio events now. Scroll down for links to register.

With rapid changes occurring on the federal level against the backdrop of one of the worst economic downturns in decades, state-level advocates working towards ending poverty and fulfilling human rights need information on what they should be preparing for and acting on in Illinois to take full advantage of these opportunities.

The From Poverty to Opportunity Campaign is hosting a series of audio event calling on national experts to share their insight into the changes and possibilities on the federal level and what those changes mean to our work here in Illinois. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what can be done to make sure opportunity is extended to the most vulnerable in our society.
