Chicago: Stop the Closure of the 18th St. Women's Clinic




Protest the Clinic Closing!

Wednesday, March 4th
4:30pm-5:30pm
at 1858 West 18th Street

Sponsored by U.I.C.A.B.C. (uic.nocuts@gmail.com) and Pilsen Alliance

Protest UIC's closing of the clinic! This clinic serves primarily Latina women from Pilsen in OBGYN services, with exams and things like free walk-in pregnancy tests. This is a core example how the budget cuts at UIC are effecting real people. What happened to UIC's urban mission!?!? What about the neighborhoods and communities that UIC's buildings have been built among? What about a public university hosipital system like UIC serving ALL the public including low-income and Latina residents in Pilsen!?!?

Get involved and help give a stronger voice to the people this university truly belongs to. Help protect UIC as a public university that should provide living wage jobs to the people of Chicago and an affordable high quality education to ALL the people of Illinois including under represented Latinos and African Americans from UIC's neighboring communities, and keeping open clinics that serve the people of Chicago!

We must get the attention of administrators, board of trustees and state legislators who must properly fund UIC and save our university!

Please give email us if you have questions or would like to find out more about getting involved.

Univ of Illinois-Chicago: Keep the clinic open!

Pregnant Women in Pilsen need this clinic!

UIC students, UIC workers and the Pilsen community are outraged!

What happened to UIC?s commitment to the community!?!

Administrators, UIC Board of Trustees and State Legislators must properly fund UIC and save our clinic!
