During Fiscal Year 2026, our Access to Justice Community Navigator Program helped expand access to trusted information and resources across our communities.

Together, we achieved:
• 1,300+ individuals informed through Know Your Rights education
• 150+ referrals and accompaniments
• 9 trained Community Navigators serving our community

Behind every number is a person, a family, and a stronger connection to the support they need.

Thank you to our Community Navigators, partners, and community members for helping make this work possible. Together, we continue building informed, connected, and empowered communities.

A delegation from Centro de Información attended Latino Unity Day in Springfield earlier this month. It was an important opportunity to connect with elected leaders and immigrant-serving organizations from across Illinois to advocate for Latino equity and the needs of immigrant communities statewide.

Special thanks to Senators Don Harmon and Cristina Castro for meeting with our delegation. During these conversations, we advocated for full funding of Illinois Access to Justice, the Immigrant Legal Support Program, and the Immigrant Services Line Item. We also voiced support for SB1995, an amendment to the Personal Information Protection Act that would help safeguard immigration and citizenship status information for Illinois residents.

At Centro, we remain committed to uplifting our communities through advocacy, collaboration, and action that protects and empowers immigrant families across Illinois 💙
