In a late-night vote, SB 3777, also known as the Civil Rights Safeguard Act, passed the Illinois General Assembly and will be on its way to Governor Pritzker's desk for his signature. This is an incredible victory for Illinois and would not have been possible had it not been for the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the sponsors of the bill Senator Adriane Johnson and State Representative Justin Slaughter, as well as the rest of the Disparate Impact Coalition.

This amendment to the Illinois Human Rights Act will safeguard civil rights protections for Illinoisans where discrimination laws apply and solidify the clear standard in Illinois law that employers and businesses have been using for more than 50 years.

And with your help, WE did it! Thank YOU for lending your support by taking action.

Our annual luncheon, The Working Lunch, is much more than a fundraiser. It’s the opportunity to sit in a room full of people who believe that women’s lives should be better. To celebrate leaders and organizations who have dedicated their careers to building women’s economic power. And to hear from the women whose lives and careers have been transformed by The Power of WE.

This year, two testimonial speakers took the stage and shared what it looks like when someone invests in women, and what’s still at stake when we don’t.
