Please join us and the women of UWFaith in welcoming Claudia Marchan, Executive Director of Immigration Law and Justice of Northern Illinois (ILJNI; formerly Northern Illinois Justice for Our Neighbors), who is our featured speaker during LOVE Sunday worship.

ILJNI provides free high-quality legal services to low-income immigrants, engages in education and advocacy efforts and builds cross-cultural relationships. It is a key ministry supported by the Northern Illinois Conference (NIC). Learn more about the organization.

Claudia joined the ILJNI team in 2018 with a background in community organizing, community development, and financial management. She was born in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon in Mexico, and immigrated to the US at the age of 4. Claudia grew up in Chicago and brings her own experience as a DACAmented immigrant to her work. Claudia and her husband, Angel, are raising two children and hope to instill in them a love and passion for education and helping others.
