ONLY 10 DAYS LEFT! On October 24th, right after our Fully Free Annual Membership Assembly at 1pm-3:30pm, we’ve added a PARADE TO THE POLLS at 3:30pm-5pm❗️ This parade, led by Formerly incarcerated people(FIPs), will bring directly impacted people and families together to make sure our voices are heard at the polls. ENDPP.ORG and @ChicagoVotes want to set the record straight: FORMERLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE CAN VOTE IN ILLINOIS and our vote matters now more than ever! As we make progress toward Illinois being the first state with no lifetime barriers, we want to educate directly impacted people on the rights they have NOW. Join us October 24th at 1pm for our first Fully Free Annual Membership Assembly, followed by our 3:30pm Parade To The Polls❗️ REGISTER AT secure.everyaction.com/JR5Qy… (An art build will happen simultaneously at the Logan Arts Center as an accessible alternative) After our parade, we will continue with our ENDPP.ORG programming at the Logan Arts Center until 8pm. This includes our storytelling exhibition “VOICES” at 5pm and a sneak preview of @ReparationsMed_ ‘s documentary “Civil Death” at 6pm! #FullyFree #ENDPP #EndPermanentPunishments #ChicagoVotes #AnnualMembershipAssembly

Thank you for attending our UIC event “The Education and Strategy of Ending Permanent Punishments!” This event was meant to highlight how higher education can play a powerful role in helping directly impacted people shape the policies that affect their communities. We aim to combine ENDPP.ORG’s lived experiences with UIC’s research expertise. Thank you to all the Fully Free Chapter Leaders and elected officials who joined our conversation! Special thanks to Dr Quintin Williams, Sadie Joseph, Chauncy Stockdale, and Alonzo Waheed! #ENDPP #EndPermanentPunishments #UIC #FullyFree

Thank you Saint Sabina Church for providing ENDPP.ORG with a last minute meeting space at the Umoja House.🔥 Umoja means, “to strive for and maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.” We appreciate your allyship and partnership! Back in August, we weren’t able to secure a new office space due to a landlord’s discrimination against our formerly incarcerated base and staff. Despite this setback, we’ve been supported by multiple partners week after week with ample space for meetings and trainings. This is what community looks like! Thank you to all our partner organizations for your support during this time! #ENDPP #EndPermanentPunishments #umoja
