Freedom Seeking: Pathways to Resilience, Reckoning, and Remembrance.

With the passage of recent state legislation, and groundbreaking new research, the Illinois Network to Freedom Collective would like to cordially invite you to our First Annual Statewide Conference at Illinois College, in Jacksonville.

This hybrid conference (in-person and online) will take place February 6-7, 2026, as we introduce our Collective, lay out our organizational goals, and share research from across the State. Join us, as we honor the past, assess the present, and build pathways toward a future rooted in resilience, equity, and share remembrance!

Tickets are $50 for Adults attending in person, $25 for E-Conference and Grad students, and Free for Undergraduate Students and younger.
