🌟 FLAP has signed an MOU with The Refugee Center!
@FLAPIllinois will help low-workers and their families in the Champaign County community better connect with social services, mediation services, language assistance – making it easier to access the resources and support.
🍂 From visiting the Día de los Muertos exhibition at the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen to enjoying the festivities at Pumpkin Fest in DeKalb County, the @FLAPIllinois team had a fun weekend out in the community experiencing culture and traditions! 💚
🤝 @FLAP is making a difference in the low-wage community with the support of the Chicago Bar Foundation! Through outreach, we connect community members with The Cook County Legal Aid for Housing and Debt for legal support for eviction, foreclosure, and unresolved debt issues.
📍 From Evanston, Skokie, Elmwood Park, Franklin Park, Schaumburg, and the @ConsulMexCho, FLAP is bringing these resources closer to home to help low-wage families protect their housing, ease financial stress, and move forward with some peace of mind.
A win for fair treatment! 🎉 With representation from @FLAPIllinois' Bilingual Chief Counsel Alvar Ayala, a restaurant worker received a settlement check to recover wages from unpaid overtime.
