Next Move Community Services is proud to have been represented earlier this week in Atlanta at the CDC Lead-Free Communities Summit by our Executive Director, Kiany Guider!

It was an honor to be surrounded by other community based organizations from across the country united by a shared mission to make our communities lead-free. Being able to hear diverse perspectives always inspires us to continue to make our program stronger and better. Thank you to all who shared this time with us!

Exciting news! The Illinois General Assembly has passed SB 3465, requiring construction sites with 10 or more workers to provide private restrooms, and menstrual products and lactation accommodations for women and gender-diverse construction workers.

Led by Chicago Women in Trades and sponsored by State Senator Graciela Guzman and State Rep Theresa Mah, this legislation finally addresses what has gone unregulated for too long: a vast majority of women and gender diverse workers have gone without adequate facilities, basic protections and dignity while working on construction sites.

Please join us in urging Governor JB Pritzker to sign this bill into law and make inclusive worksites the standard in Illinois!
