About

With increased immigration action taking place in Chicago and across Illinois, it's important that you know your rights! Ensure you are in compliance with existing regulations and protect your neighbors, employees and operations.

Our goal is to ensure that our business community, including owners, customers, and employees, is well-informed and supported. As a "Welcoming City," we are committed to providing you with the resources you need.

We recognize that there is a lot of confusing information available, which is why we've partnered with multiple city agencies and organizations like Arise Chicago. They are dedicated to protecting workers and advocating for businesses, and they have valuable resources to share.

Here are the key resources. Please share them:  

The Welcoming City Ordinance Palm Card: This explains how the city limits its involvement in federal immigration enforcement and protects access to city services. 

The "You Belong" Palm Card: This sends a clear message that all residents are welcome and provides links to key resources.

The Family Preparedness Workshop Flyer: This offers information about free virtual workshops designed to help families stay informed and connected.

 The Arise Chicago Flyer: This resource is specifically for business owners and provides contact information for additional support.

The Federal Troop Deployment Palm Card: This offers guidance on how to interact with law enforcement and includes tips for people experiencing homelessness.
