Support Democracy in Illinois

Our democracy has overcome its fair share of challenges this year — including a nationwide pandemic, the aggressive spread of disinformation, and shameful efforts to suppress our right to vote — but we still have important work to do. Change doesn’t just take place on Election Day — democracy starts with people like you and me taking an active role in our communities and working on the issues that affect us and our families.

And on this Giving Tuesday, the biggest impact you can make — as a voter, an activist, or a citizen — is on the state and local level. Will you chip in and fuel our efforts to ensure that our democracy works for all of us?
