We are public servants and CEOs. We are philanthropists and community organizers. We are experienced political reformers and innovators with new ideas. We are a broad coalition of Illinoisans from all walks of life who are ready to act to achieve a better state.

We envision an improving Illinois. We see an Illinois where equity and ethics are paramount; where elections are fair and financed with clean money; where governments run efficiently; where corruption is dealt with firmly; where government officials serve the public good; and where ordinary people have a stronger political voice.

Join us to help make CHANGE for the better happen.
