Student speeches take on issues

Student speeches take on issues

It is #primary #electionday in Illinois, and high school students all over Chicago are serving as election judges. Here are a few of our students at polling locations throughout the city. Thank you to all the students for your civic engagement.

Featured students: Gregory, Alika, Bryana, Julia, and Alaina

Juneteenth is more than a holiday - it is also a reminder that advancing equity and justice requires laws, policies, and action. The history of this day is a testament to the fact that without education and access, rights and freedoms will not flourish.

Today, we are not only commemorating but reflecting on the importance of our mission and the possibilities of our work. Thank you for your continued support of our programming, which educates and develops youth to promote a just and equitable society.

In honor of Juneteenth, the Mikva Challenge offices will be closed Monday, June 20th.

As we approach tomorrow’s Soapbox Nation event we'd like lift up Amira who gave a compelling speech about Islamaphobia Against Women. Want to hear more of Amira’s speech? Want to listen to other students speaking about the issues impacting their communities the most?
