Chicago H1-B Connect campaign aims to connect visa holders to jobs
America is a culturally rich and economically powerful country, in part due to the contributions of immigrants who have joined our society over the centuries. The H-1B visa program has been a vital tool for bringing skilled professionals to our country, but the program can also create stress and uncertainty for H-1B visa holders and their families, especially those impacted by recent job cuts in technology and adjacent industries.
Remembering Anna Arnold Hedgeman
As we reflect on the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and on the continuation of white supremacy’s enactment through police violence, we might also reflect on the region’s histories of integration and segregation, community building and racism, which in the Twin Cities as elsewhere have long gone hand in hand.

100 Women CEOs Of Fortune 500 Companies By 2025: How It Can Happen
The news that Indra Nooyi, Pepsi’s long-time CEO, stepped down on Oct. 2 comes at a time when there are too few women in the top job. Ms. Nooyi counted many successes in her 12-year run, defeating an activist investor’s attempt to break up the company and pushing PepsiCo chips and sodas to healthier snacks such as hummus and kombucha.

Where Were the Women in the March on Washington?
Skip Navigation TNR_brand monogram_blackThe New Republic TNR_brand wordmark_black In 1944, the black press had dubbed activist Anna Arnold Hedgeman the “young feminist” in Civil Rights leader A.
