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.
The argument that we should wait for federal lawmakers to make it right is a red herring that can be applied to literally any issue when you don’t have a good reason for the state to step up. And we can spend years on what-about-isms for this state and that state while real representation and our voices continue to be stifled.
