In 2016, nearly 250,000 people were legally paid less than the minimum wage, on average, less than $2 an hour. "Bottom Dollars" is an hour-long documentary that exposes the exploitation of people with disabilities through personal stories and expert interviews. It also presents clear employment alternatives with competitive wages and community inclusion.
Join us for a National Disability Employment Awareness Month film screening and discussion of Bottom Dollars on Wednesday, October 23 at 1 p.m. at the Daley Library in Room 1-470. Discussion follows the film screening. Light refreshments/snacks will be offered.
This event will be held on the first floor of the library, which is wheelchair accessible. CART will be provided. UIC is not a fragrance-free campus, but we ask that attendees refrain from wearing fragrance at this event. For more access information or access requests, email lib-engage@uic.edu.
