❤️☺️Social Change was proud to help draft and advocate for HB 4277, which just passed out of committee 8 to 1 with bipartisan support.

⚖️This legislation would reform the Illinois Notary Public Act to allow individuals with felony convictions older than 10 years to apply to become a licensed notary public in Illinois instead of being automatically disqualified for life.

The bill helps expand access to professional opportunities and removes long term economic barriers that continue to impact people long after they have served their time.

Thank you to Senator Johnson and Rep. Mayfield for sponsoring the bill and thank you to Greg Chambers and Cynthia Jackson for your leadership and support throughout this process.

We’re grateful to everyone continuing to push for fairer policies and real second chances.

We’ll be at State Senator Lakesia Collins’ 6th Annual Mother’s Day Celebration with something fun at the Social Change table Sat. May 9th at noon-5pm 💚

Start your day at our hands-on garden station where kids and families can make their own mini garden using recycled newspaper pots 📰🌿

Roll it, fill it, plant it, decorate it, and take it home to grow together.

We’ll also be sharing resources for moms and families including free legal help, food access, and more, plus some extra goodies at our table 🛍️

Don’t miss the raffles 🎟️
Kids can enter to win something for their mom, or moms can enter for themselves 💝

This is a full community event, so come enjoy everything, not just us. Bring the kids and make a day out of it 🫶🏽

We’re also looking for volunteers to help set up and support the table. If you’re available, tap in 🤝

Art at the Farm is this Saturday 🎨🌱share this 🙏

We’re bringing color to the space by painting tree stumps and raised beds, and getting everything ready for the season. Come through, get creative, and be part of building something that stays.

We’ll also be lining mulch, planting, and getting the beds ready, so there’s something for everyone.

If you have any leftover house paint, paint, or spray paint sitting around, bring it with you or DM us so we can pick it up. We’ll put it to good use.
