Join us to learn about the Credit for Change statewide campaign to restore sentencing credits for good conduct in Illinois. Behind bars, real change is happening every day—but right now, Illinois law doesn't reward it. Credit for Change is a statewide campaign to restore sentencing credit for rehabilitative programming, making prisons safer, families stronger, and saving Illinois taxpayers close to $1 billion.

Free and open to all but registration is required.

When people discuss prison reform, they often emphasize the need for policy change, but few know what it takes to bring about such change. This month, we will talk about the importance of legislative advocacy and the power of lobbying. We will examine the complex process of lobbying and discuss the strategy required to bring about the change you want to see. Ultimately, we will learn the importance of legislative advocacy and why it is critical that formerly incarcerated people lend their voices to the process.

The Illinois Prison Project invites you to join us for our 6th Annual Gala celebration on Friday, October 16 at the beautiful, historic Chicago Cultural Center located in Chicago's Loop directly across from Millennium Park. The IPP Gala brings together advocates, elected officials, legal experts, and community members working at the forefront of the movement to end mass incarceration in Illinois and beyond. Each ticket includes a plated dinner, dessert, drinks, and exclusive access to three iconic event spaces at the Cultural Center.
