Action 1: ACLU Asylum Webinar 10/12
From Texas to New York and beyond, communities are working diligently to support people seeking asylum and a better life in the United States. But this story is being lost in the media, with anti-immigrant lawmakers politicizing the arrival of our new neighbors. Lawmakers across the political spectrum have sown confusion about the asylum law, and what is needed to ensure a fair and orderly system for people seeking protection at the border, as well as what is needed to support them and the cities and communities they are joining.
On October 12, hear from ACLU experts about the situation on the ground — and how you can make a difference.
We’ll hear from ACLU attorneys, campaign experts, and policy advisers about what’s happening at the border in Texas and the national state of play in the courts and the legislature.

Action 2: Affordable Healthcare Webinar 10/17
In Illinois, we’ve capped insulin co-pays, protected health insurance consumers from unfair premium hikes, and banned the price gouging of generic and off-patent prescription drugs. But still, there's more to do.
At this event, you will hear from some of our legislative champions, Rep. Nabeela Syed and Rep. Jenn Ladisch Douglass, who have led the fight for affordable healthcare and hear their thoughts on the work we have ahead.
We will also be joined by Vincent DeMarco, of Maryland Health Care For All, who was pivotal in the creation of a Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) in Maryland. In addition to introducing a PDAB in Illinois, we will also be discussing the importation of prescription drugs, medicare rate reference pricing, pharmacy benefit manager transparency, and more.
Join the Making Healthcare Affordable in Illinois webinar on Tuesday, October 17 at noon.
