Champaign County Health Care Consumers director Claudia Lenhoff speaks to about 20 people at the Illini Union on Tuesday. CCHCC is leading a campaign to convince the U of I at Urbana to provide insurance coverage for contraceptives. Not providing them is gender-based discrimination, since they are needed to treat medical conditions, Lenhoff said. The campaign is supported on campus by AFSCME Local 3700 (clericals), SEIU Local 73 Chap. 119, the Association of Academic Professionals-IEA/NEA, and the Graduate Employees' Organization-IFT/AFT. |
