IPP is seeking community feedback on our new multi-year plan to 1) assess ALL women serving long prison sentences in Illinois and 2) provide representation to those selected. We especially encourage formerly incarcerated women and loved ones of current and formerly incarcerated women to attend, as well as advocates & community members. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP as space is limited!

What is lost when our criminal legal system emphasizes punishment over rehabilitation? At this month's Lunch & Learn, hear from three experts who have spent decades leading movements & changing lives – breaking labels, redefining identity and living beyond limitations  – despite being confined to a system intent upon burying them.

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!
