Congratulations are in order for Edgar Hernández. After many months of training, he completed the 2013 Chicago Marathon in just 4 and a half hours! Many thanks go to Edgar, his family and friends who generously gave to LP in honor of Edgar's hard work.

Important Alert about Voter Registration
The Cook County Clerk's Office recently announced expanded voter registration in Illinois, the new criteria will allow US citizens to register online and offer opportunities for 17 year olds who will be eligible to vote in the upcoming election.
Although completing the registration form requires only a State ID or drivers license, for a non-US citizen (a legal permanent resident or undocumented resident, including DACA recipients), completing this form could have major implications for a person's immigration status.
