🌟A big thank you to the @ConsulMexCho for welcoming FLAP during SALE week! Sharing Know Your Rights information directly with low-wage workers helps them learn their rights and where to turn when they need support.

🙌 Bilingual Senior Economic Mobility and Outreach Advocate Adriana Hoyos joined the Latino Coalition of Evanston’s second community forum at the @CityofEvanston's Gibbs-Morrison Center to listen to attendees and share resources.

🤝Testing their knowledge Claudia and Sasha Reyes, Bilingual Manager of Advocacy and Community Engagement, had a great time at the Seigle Foundation’s Trivia Night making connections and celebrating fellow grantees, with Mark Robin Seigle.

Another exciting wrap to the week with FLAP! 📚Educating future advocates, Bilingual Manager of Programs Claudia Oliveros presented for the Peace and Social Justice class at @NIUlive about the challenges low-wage workers face and the importance of standing up for worker rights.

This means new opportunities for FLAP to share what we have learned alongside low-wage workers and their families with nonprofits, funders, and AMPT community partners. Thank you to AMPT for continuing to make room for FLAP to learn from each other and bring our experiences.

We will be preventing family separations and connecting low-wage immigrant children, youth, and their families with life-changing career pathways. 🌱

@FLAPIllinois knows that a conversation can open the door to new opportunities, and a KYR flyer can help low-wage families find the vital resources they need. 💪 The team is halfway through SALE week at the @ConsulMexCho ! Take a look at their work!

@FLAPIllinois is proud to join the @ConsulMexCho for SALE week! 🙌 📚 The team will be connecting with low-wage workers throughout the week, sharing resources and support that can help workers navigate their next steps with confidence.

🍂 The @FLAPIllinois team is bringing the Halloween spirit! From festive decorations to team members showing off their costumes, even virtually, we found fun ways to celebrate the season. Wishing the low-wage community a fun, safe, and happy Halloween! 🎃
