Over our 50-year history, the Shriver Center has secured hundreds of law and policy victories with and for people living in poverty in Illinois. Building on these wins and our comprehensive view of poverty, we connect and train lawyers, community leaders, and activists nationwide to advance opportunity — for all, not just some.
The Shriver Center has made recommendations to the Illinois Future of Work Task Force.
The Shriver Center and Legal Impact Network members have urged the Secretary of Transportation to comply with Title VI in planning and implementing projects.
Our agenda is rooted in equity and establishing long-term supports for communities across the state.
These findings will help drive the Shriver Center’s healthcare advocacy during the 2022 Illinois legislative session.
No one should have to choose between meeting their basic needs and being with their loved ones.
