Entrance to the Red Herring
The
Channing-Murray Foundation is known throughout the UIUC campus community
for its good music, great food, and the opportunity to engage in nonjudgmental
spiritual exploration. Writing, dance and arts workshops flourish, and
our chapel hosts a wide array of justice oriented community forums,
concerts, poetry slams, and student theatrical productions. Located
on the corner of Oregon and Mathews, Channing-Murray welcomes everyone
regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious background.
We invite you to come and just be yourself and to participate in activities
and events that appeal to you.

WAR ON THE FAMILY
Mothers in Prison and the Children They Leave
Behind
A few appalling statistics: Illinois' rate of re-uniting an incarcerated
mother and her children after prison is only 28%. In Illinois, 73% of
the women's prison population are women of color. While over 80% of
women in the Illinois Department of Corrections need drug treatment,
it is available to only 16% of them.
This film puts a human face over the statistics: haunting first person
narratives, coupled with analysis from passionate advocates, paint a
devastatingly clear picture of the effects imprisonment has not only
on the women who are locked away, but also on the children who have
been left behind.
Discussion following the film will be co-facilitated by members of the
Education Justice Project’s Family and Community Engagement program
(FACE).

Red Herring Vegetarian Restaurant
monday-friday from 10 to 3
(NEW HOURS!)
The
Red Herring Vegetarian Restaurant has been serving the Urbana-Champaign
community for over thirty years. It was started by the Channing-Murray
Foundation as a way to put Unitarian-Universalist principles into action.
The restaurant is non-profit, so all the money we make goes back into
making the restaurant better for our cooks and customers by keeping
our prices accessible to folks trying to live a healthy vegetarian lifestyle.
The Red Herring serves lunch five days a week from 11am-3pm when U of
I is in session. Remember that we love volunteers! Hungry? One
hour of work equals one free meal!

Red Herring Coffeehouse
fridays and saturdays: 8 pm to 1 am
Started in 1967, the Red Herring Coffeehouse
has been one of our longest running programs here at Channing Murray
Foundation. By creating a sharing community where any age, religion,
race, style, gender, or sexual preference are welcome, the Red Herring
Coffeehouse aims to create a diverse and open atmosphere. Stop
by for chili, soup of the day, baked goods, snacks, soft drinks, fair
trade organic coffee, music, performance art, and conversation with
friends. We are seeking to create a rich multimedia experience,
so please plan on joining us with your paintings, poetry, prose, comedy,
and music!
