Are you trying to navigate IDOC or the Prisoner Review Board?  You're not alone!

IPP Community Navigators will be at the Harold Washington Library 7th Floor with lots of resources to help your incarcerated loved one. We'll be there on the FIRST and THIRD Wednesday of each month.

🗓️ First and Third Wednesday of each month (May 6 and May 20)

🕙 10am-12pm

2026 will be a big election year with lasting consequences, especially for our most vulnerable communities. But what does voting and democracy mean for incarcerated and other system-impacted people? Join us on May 7 for a vibrant discussion with community leaders on the meaning of democracy -- on both sides of the wall. Free and open to all!

PLEASE NOTE THAT AS OF APRIL 29, TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT! 

Travel to Springfield to meet directly with state lawmakers and urge them to pass two critical pieces of legislation:

- SB 1785/HB 5256 — extending day-for-day credit to individuals on Mandatory Supervised Release (MSR), and
- SB 3410/HB 5395 — $2.5 million to fund IPP’s mission of providing legal services to incarcerated people
‍
This is a key moment in the legislative session, and showing strong, visible community support can make a real difference.
