Learning for Justice is relaunching the 'Teaching Hard History' podcast series with host Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Ph.D., to resist current efforts to erase and alter our nation’s history.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, we uplift liberation and Black joy and culture. And we commit to learning and teaching the hard history that is foundational to the United States and the ongoing movement for freedom and equality.

Join us each week as we highlight an episode from the series (originally aired 2018-2022) and include a new resource page with essential ideas and teaching recommendations from the conversation and updated resources.

The Resurrection Project, the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the National Immigrant Justice Center, the Chicago Mayor’s Office of Immigrant, Migrant and Refugee Rights, and the Illinois Department of Human Services are proud to launch a new website with centralized resources for immigrant families across the state. This website is offered in ARABIC as well!

Illinois constituents can now stay updated on the latest changes to federal policy and how it will impact their communities by visiting IllinoisImmigrationInfo.org (http://ilimmigrantinfo.org/). The website includes up-to-date information on immigration and labor rights, how to access free and low-cost legal services, as well as several other resources on housing, discrimination, public benefits, and how to get an ID. 

Our immigrant communities are under attack. This website is a vital, trustworthy tool that Illinois families can use to . We’re asking partner organizations to share it with their  networks in order to help us spread the word about this new resource.
