The Working Lunch



Thanks for a Great Event!

Close to 800 people joined us at The Working Lunch on May 4th to promote the economic empowerment of women.

We were moved by adult students Mary Bulaon and Elena Herrera. We were inspired by Dr. Riane Eisler, and her call for an economy that places more value on women and the work of caregiving. Hundreds took action by signing a petition to Governor Quinn calling for him to support working students.

Want to share the inspiration?
Check out the slideshow, and view the videos from the event. Share your story of what your education enabled you to do. Then connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, to join the online conversation.
