Women and their issues in Champaign-Urbana.
Looking for unbiased information this election year that speaks to you as a voting citizen, rather than as a fraction of a percentage point for some political party?
There’s a non-partisan, citizen-run organization that, for the last 85 years, has been dedicated to educating the voters of Champaign County, engaging them in the political process, and acting as watchdogs over local governmental bodies on their behalf.
The Champaign County League of Women Voters has been active since 1924. As an organization that strives to be neither Democratic nor Republican (or, politically, anything else), promoting informed voting has been its primary focus from the beginning, according to Trisha Crowley, the league’s current president (and Deputy City Attorney for the City of Champaign).
On Oct. 24, Champaign County Health Care Consumers and Planned Parenthood of East Central Illinois co-sponsored an event to distribute free packs of emergency contraception pills, otherwise known as "EC," or by the commercial name Plan B.
Free EC Day isn't exactly news anymore, but it's still worth talking about. As the Health Care Consumers reported at their Women's Health Task Force meeting on Nov. 11, 180 people received packs of Plan B that day. Many of us, on the other hand, continue to be at least somewhat unprepared.
