March for Support of Immigrants at July 4th Parade
Our goal is to have 500 people march with us in the parade. If you are free to join us, please do so but also help spread the word among family, friends, co-workers and other organizations or faith communities you are active with.
We are encouraging people to sign up so we can track how many folks are participating and also to send out updates about details of the event. Sign up here:

Show up, speak out in your own unique way for the support of local immigrants and the progress of human rights. You can also join us in raising your voice and showing support in other ways:
Join us for a sign-making party on Saturday, July 1st from 2pm-4pm at the University YMCA, 1001 S. Wright Street. This is a kid-friendly event with food and plenty of crafty supplies. Immigration Forum t-shirts are also available for purchase to be visible with us at the parade and support our work. You may order your t-shirt here: tinyurl.com/IFt-shirts. (Please order your shirt by June 20th to pick up before or at the parade.)
Attached here is the flyer for more details.
Thanks for your help and support.

At high school graduation parties this month, after congratulating the bright grad and their proud parents, make a note to ask where they plan on attending college.

University of Illinois College of LAS
Julie Price, senior lecturer in the U of Illinois English Department, is a celebrated poet. She's also won multiple teaching awards at department, college, and university levels, including the LAS Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching.
Her teaching touches on a variety of topics, including how to get an idea off the ground when words won’t come easily.
“You just have to keep going,” Price said. “I tell my students I don’t believe in writer’s block. You have to throw time at it, and stare down that blank screen. It can be blisteringly annoying. Write junk if you have to. Just get your fingers moving on the keyboard. Sometimes the junk gives way to writing that you love.”
'Then, as a registered nurse, I ask, “By a show of hands, who can run a code by themselves?” A code is when someone in cardiac arrest needs high-quality resuscitation and intervention. No hands go up, because we all understand that it takes a team to run a code and save someone’s life.
I draw a parallel to maintaining our rights in the workplace: “The same way I am counting on you to help me run a code, I am also counting on you to continue our union contract and strong future.”''
