Latino Policy Forum
Working with a consortium of over 70 Latino elected and appointed officials, health professionals, and community-based organizations that seeks to present one united voice to stop the growth of COVID-19 in Latino communities, the Forum will lead a critical analysis of the long-term impacts of COVID, emphasizing Latinas due to their increasing rate of labor force participation pre-COVID. This unique project will develop policy recommendations, address the invisibilities of Latinos within mainstream media narratives, and focus on the impact of “long haulers” on labor force participation.

Northern Illinois Justice for Our Neighbors
NIJFON's vision is a world where all immigrants are welcomed, supported and able to live without fear. NIJFON gets closer this vision by providing free legal immigration services and education and advocacy. Racist systems perpetuate the advancement of immigrants by keeping them in poverty, silent and vulnerable. NIJFON works on uplifting immigrants and integrating them into society by providing them their day in court and building a quality of life through just policy and challenging and dismantling racist systems. We fight against harmful legislation that threatens to permanently separate their families, educate and train on the challenges faced with the immigration system, and advocate to increase political will to make needed reforms.
