Tuesday, April 5, Equality Illinois is co-presenting a forum focusing on the financial implications of civil unions in Illinois with the Federal Reserve Bank. The history of the legislation, the financial benefits provided by it, and planning strategies for couples who decide to enter into a civil union are among the many topics that will be presented by the speakers. Pre-registration is required. Click HERE for more information and to register.
Additionally, Equality Illinois is continuing to host Civil Union Community Forums across the state in English and Spanish.
