Chicago City Council Supports Goals of the Urban Initiative
On October 22-23, the third Urban Initiative Regional Summit was held in Chicago, IL. Hosted by the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health (ICAH), the Summit brought together more than 150 advocates from 14 cities and eight states across the Midwest.
Recognizing the wonderful work ICAH has done over the years working for adolescent health in the state and the great potential of the Urban Initiative for Reproductive Health to promote real policy solutions to urban reproductive health challenges, the Chicago City Council passed a resolution to review the goals and outcomes of the Summit.
We’re thrilled the City of Chicago is committed to improving reproductive health and recognizes the importance of fostering collaboration between advocates, elected leaders, and public health officials in cities across the country to create and implement a proactive, local agenda to do so.
