A local chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois will be marching to raise awareness about recent layoffs.

Blitz says they plan to place 261 flags around Old Main and the courthouse, representing those receiving layoff notices amid the state budget stalemate.
The event takes place next Wednesday afternoon at 4:30.
