Democracy Wire

We are pleased to see that Senator Kirk has pledged to do his job and rejected Senator McConnell’s obstruction. But that alone is not enough.

On February 10th, Common Cause Illinois held it’s 2016 Champions of Democracy celebration. I was honored and inspired by all of our awardees and the stories that they shared.

With only one week until the Celebration, we are proud to announce our fourth and final Champion of Democracy, Senator Don Harmon.

With less than two weeks to the celebration we're proud to introduce you to Governor Jim Edgar, one of our 2016 Champions of Democracy!

I hope that you will join me for an amazing night with Common Cause, an organization working to increase civic engagement throughout Illinois.

Help us honor one of our 2016 Champions of Democracy, Martese Chism. Martese comes from four generations of activists who have given their lives fighting for voting rights.
