SAVE THE DATE! April 9, from 12 noon to 1 pm, Access Living is coordinating a “Revenue and Rights” people’s rally at the Thompson Center in downtown Chicago, at 100 W. Randolph.
Come on out to hear people speak about the budget cuts, perform poetry, and more. If you or your group want to be part of the rally, please contact Adam Ballard at or aballard@accessliving.org. We need as many people to come as possible to show the state that WE MEAN BUSINESS! Bring a poster or sign that says why you want to stop the cuts.
