Update: Parental Notice Law on Hold // On July 14, 2009, a federal appeals court lifted an injunction on the Illinois Parental Notice of Abortion Act of 1995, paving the way for full implementation. On November 4, 2009, a state regulation department voted to begin enforcement of the law after a 90-day grace period ended. But, just hours after the vote, a Cook County judge granted a temporary restraining order. The law is not being enforced until futher notice. Please check back for regular updates on the parental notice law in Illinois. Illinois Advocates Tell Congress to Support Responsible Sex Ed // Over 270 agencies and individuals from around the state signed on to a letter asking the Illinois Congressional Delegation to keep abstinence-only funding out of health care reform. The letter also urged the two senators and nineteen representatives to support the Responsible Education About Life Act to create federal funding for responsible sexuality education. |
Youth Activist Projects // ICAH does youth development work because we believe it is the most effective way to achieve policy objectives while building leadership and critical thinking skills among a new generation of advocates. Our goals are to develop youth as leaders, to help youth leaders make informed choices for themselves while influencing other youth and adults, and to engage youth in making accomplishments toward our policy objectives. Designed by young people interested in creating social change, youth activist projects help youth gain knowledge about sexual and reproductive health issues and develop leadership and advocacy skills. Current activities include the Condom Access Project, Reproductive Justice and Access Project, Sexually Transmitted Infection Project, and Young Parent Alliance. |
