We’ve seen this movie before. Anger, Fear—but for those who have the standards to behave like actual human beings, we’re disgusted, and hope that when we say democracy is on the line people realize that that is not an intermission, that is the main feature of the GOP. #Disability #RFKJR #HHS

systemic discrimination that may not be overt but harms marginalized communities. (3). SB 3213, which helps patients transfer ANY prescription to another pharmacy if their 1st choice is out of stock/has inventory issues, without a 2nd prescription needed. If you can donate, we’re on a shoestring

ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Disparate Impact Impacts Everyone
School policies should open doors NOT create barriers HUMAN RIGHTS

• Immigrants and naturalized citizens who face barriers to language access
• Disabled veterans who face housing voucher-based discrimination
• LGBTQ+ persons who face sex discrimination

Why Disparate Impact discrimination law is important:
• Discrimination isn't always obvious. Sometimes, unfairness hides in everyday rules or systems.
• It helps uncover hidden barriers. These might affect people based on race, gender, age, disability, or other protected characteristics.
• It keeps institutions accountable. By looking at outcomes, in addition to intentions, we can make sure policies are truly fair for everyone.
• It reserves clear, consistent legal standards. By enshrining the long-settled legal precedent into our state statute, we can guarantee that existing interpretation of civil rights law will continue to exist for all Illinoisans

Alt text:

Flyer titled “Menstrual Equity Awareness Week: Student Planning Toolkit | April 20–24.” The design uses teal, red, and white colors with a megaphone illustration.

Section “The Mission” reads: “End the stigma. Expand access. Drive change.” It explains that the week focuses on ensuring every student in Illinois has access to period products, education, and dignity, and encourages students to lead efforts on their campus.

“Why It Matters” highlights key stats: 1 in 4 students struggle to afford period products; 80% have missed class or know someone who has due to lack of access; Illinois is a leader in menstrual equity.

A “Leader Pro-Tip” suggests building a “Period Posse” by recruiting 3–4 friends and assigning roles like social media, logistics/donations, and school outreach.
