I am so deeply grateful for Kyle Beach and what he has done to shine a light in such dark places. But the cost to survivors of being put in such a position, carrying the weight of trying to save others while healing from the abuse is a burden no survivor should be saddled with.

BREAKING: The disturbing new report by @NDRNadvocates found widespread abuse & neglect at for-profit youth residential treatment facilities across the nation. Read about it here: ndrn.org/resource/despe… (1/2)
Five years after agreeing to improve prison mental health care, the @IDOC_Illinois has failed to deliver on any of its promises, failing 5 of 5 criteria established by the federal court. @uplcchicago @equip4equality @Dentons Via @thesouthern thesouthern.com/news/local/cri…
And a statement from @GovPritzker, via press release: "With this executive order my administration is affirming that people with disabilities are valued members of our workforce who deserve the dignity of equal pay.” "
A press release from @equip4equality praised the move: “For far too long, many companies have benefitted from State Use contracts, but paid their workers sub-minimum wage. Today’s Executive Order... is a critical step to making the promise of Employment First a reality in IL.”
Here's @GovPritzker signing the historic executive order. We commend the Governor for ending sub-minimum wage in state use contracts in Illinois!
Thank you @AdminJustice for the warm welcome! Excited for this journey to start Sept. 1. mailchi.mp/administerjust…
Life announcement! On Aug. 26th I will be leaving @ILAO and joining @AdminJustice as VP of Legal Services. So grateful for everything ILAO has provided me in the 7+ years I've been with the organization, and excited for my next chapter!
Two of our Senior Attorneys, Amanda C. Antholt and Paul W. Mollica were interviewed by @SuperLawyers. Read the full article to learn about what they do here at EFE. superlawyers.com/illinois/artic…
Contact with the outside world after arrest helps people safely invoke their rights...but not all US states are created equal. We looked at statute + case law nationwide and found only ~30% have strong #RightToCommunicate protections. Read our report: chicagoappleseed.org/wp-content/upl… 1/
Thanks to @WGNRadio's John Williams for having me on this morning to chat about fireworks laws in Illinois. Learn more on @ILAO's website (article written by @lincolnlegalaid's John Roska!): illinoislegalaid.org/legal-informat…
“Let’s start with the social worker. Let’s start with the teacher who has a good relationship with that young person. Let’s start with somebody who is a safe person, and not a threatening person," says EFE Attorney Jessica Gingold. buff.ly/3gZ9pWd
People are up to 10 times more likely to avoid deportation with a lawyer, but 70% of those with cases in Chicago don’t have one (@injusticewatch). Congratulations to @d4a_il, @CookCoDefender, @TRPistas, and all who made this happen. #AccessibleJustice injusticewatch.org/news/2021/publ…
