  • Learning English at Jefferson Park: Volunteers provide resources to migrant students.

    Jefferson Park volunteers host English classes and provide resources to migrants

    A Northwest side non-profit community organization expanded their mutual aid efforts to migrants by creating English language courses for the new arrivals. Jefferson Park community members have been working to provide support to migrants at Friendship Community Place (FCP), 5150 N. Northwest Hwy., in collaboration with Friendship Presbyterian Church, as a response to the fast growing number of migrants coming to Chicago. Rev. Shawna Bowman, one of the pastors at the church helping run the efforts, said they started to create English courses after some migrants recently expressed their interest in learning the language.  “There was some conversation about the need for an English as a second language class, specifically to help give tools to people to advocate for themselves,” Bowman said.  Professionals from different industries in the neighborhood come in to lend support to their new neighbors by providing English classes and childcare during the class.  Lena Charles, [...]

    Complicating The Narrative On Health Care For Undocumented Immigrants

    Editor's Notes: In healthcare, equity — the notion that everyone should have a fair opportunity to attain their full health potential irrespective of their social, economic, or demographic circumstances — has long been an intense focus. However, the narrative around health equity is often oversimplified in news coverage, limiting our understanding of the complexities involved.

The discussion surrounding chronic illness has a wide range of lenses in order to fully understand the issue, including the impact these illnesses have on different communities and ethnicities. The Latino community in the United States is the most significantly impacted community by chronic illness. Still, the issue itself transforms racial boundaries as each ethnicity suffers greatly from its effects. [...]

    Go Big. Vote Local Series Looks to Increase Voter Turnout

    HARTFORD—Reggae and gospel melodies drifted down Main Street on a Tuesday afternoon, inviting residents walking by the Connecticut Old State House to two voter registration tables that stood outside the historic building.  CT’s Old State House and YWCA staff and volunteers from the League of Women Voters of Greater Hartford ran both tables from noon to 4 p.m. They answered questions and offered materials in English and Spanish on voting to about 231 patrons, according to CT Old State House Public Programs and Exhibitions Manager Mariana García de la Noceda. The Sept. 19 event, held on National Voter Registration Day, is just one of the engagement efforts in the “Go Big.
