Special thank you to @ISMSLegislative, @ChicagoTM, @UpwardlyGlobal and everyone else whose work led us to this moment. Licensing IMGs means addressing the healthcare workforce shortage by providing opportunities for professionals to provide care here in IL.

Dignity in Pay is headed to Governor Pritzker's desk! Read more about the bill below. Thank you to everyone who filed a witness slip or supported this bill in any way. Together, we ensured that Illinois will be the next state to champion fair pay for all. 🎉

Thank you @GovPritzker! @AAAJ_Chicago was proud to be the lead advocacy org for the Language Equity and Access Act. We’re so grateful to our immigrant rights champions Rep Dagmara Avelar (@repdagmara), Rep Theresa Mah (@ChicagoTM) and Sen Karina Villa for leading this effort
Illinois is building the inclusive state our people deserve step by step. Today, I signed the Language Equity and Access Act into law — ensuring that all state agencies are unified in their language access requirements. No one will be left behind when they seek public services.
