Life Is Work

Life Is Work will be closed today in observance of May Day.

Today, we honor the legacy of labor, resistance, and the ongoing fight for dignity, safety, and equity for all—especially those most pushed to the margins.

Our leadership team will be on the ground at Union Park, standing in solidarity, raising our voices, and showing up for our communities.

We’ll be back Monday. Until then—stay safe, stay grounded, and stay in the fight. ✊🏾

Voting rights aren’t just policy—they shape our schools, our housing, our safety, and our future.

This , we’re breaking down how recent Supreme Court decisions impact our communities—and what we can do about it.

Stay informed. Stay ready. Stay engaged.
Because access matters. Because we matter.

We hope you all are enjoying your weekend as much as we enjoyed our time with on Friday! Thanks for making such an inclusive and intentional space for our communities! Keep a lookout for more content from Friday’s show with our very own CEO serving as the distinguished host for the evening!

We’ve Been Given a Powerful Opportunity!

This moment is bigger than us.
Every dollar you give is being matched—doubling the impact, doubling the care, doubling the possibility.
Together, we’re building a sanctuary rooted in dignity, history, and love.


Happy Birthday, Rosa! 🎉

Your care and dedication as our Development Consultant help keep Life Is Work growing and grounded in purpose. We truly appreciate all that you pour into this work and our community.

Wishing you a day full of love and celebration 💜

**WE CAN'T BUILD ALONE!**
Out here in these streets—because the work doesn’t always happen behind a desk.
Our CEO and Deputy Director are showing up, making sure our programs are funded, our doors stay open, and our people have what they need to eat, live, and sustain themselves. This is what care looks like in real time.

Black women have always carried communities on their backs—often without recognition, always with intention. And Chicago? Chicago needs more Black women leaders who move with this kind of purpose, urgency, and love.
If you’ve been looking for a way to stand with this kind of work—now is the time. What we’re building takes all of us.
This is Life Is Work. By us, for us all. ❤️🖤💚

Happy Monday, life is workers! We hope you all were able to have a restorative weekend. We had a fulfilling time at the level of conference with providing STI in PrEP education to community members!
