SUMMARY:COVID-19 Illinois Funder Briefings
DESCRIPTION:Forefront Illinois Funders’ Briefings feature opportunities to hear from and share local\, regional\, and national updates on responses to COVID-19 and its impact on Illinois communities.  Speakers and topics are updated on a rolling basis. \nHow can Illinois funders help to support an independent\, transparent redistricting process that ensures that communities are fully and fairly represented locally\, at the state level\, and in Congress? Districts are redrawn once a decade after the census to reflect population changes. The processes and timelines differ per state\, but all are intended to ensure fair representation of all residents. The extent to which communities are fairly represented profoundly influences policies and resources around issues like education\, health care\, economic development\, infrastructure\, and the environment. This program will be of special interest to funders across the state who have participated in supporting census efforts to reach historically undercounted communities. Speakers will include Carrie Davis\, The Joyce Foundation; Jocelyn Bissonnette\, Funders Committee for Civic Participation; and Kathay Feng\, Common Cause. \nRegister Here.
