Join me and friends as we kick off National Diaper Needs Awareness Week right here on Chicago’s West Side!
As a proud Senate sponsor of Illinois’ Birth Equity Initiative, I was honored to carry Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton’s Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton vision in the Senate. I am grateful to Governor Pritzker Governor JB Pritzker and so many advocates and voices in the birth justice space who helped make this legislation law. This historic initiative included a $1 million investment in a diaper equity pilot program serving families across Illinois, because diapers are a basic necessity and every family deserves access to the resources they need to thrive.
I am also grateful to Share Our Spare Share Our Spare for their partnership and commitment to providing these essential resources to our new moms, babies and families.
So grateful to our partners, including 24th Ward Alderwoman Monique Scott, 37th Ward Alderman Emma Mitts, Chicago Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin, and Mt Sinai for coming together to support our mothers, babies and caretakers.
