We officially launched our 2024 Democracy Project on August 7, 2024! Leading up to Election Day (November 5th),
9 community leaders will be organizing in their communities and mobilizing immigrant voters and allies to support pro-immigrant policies.
They will be working in these key geographies: Lake County; Suburban Cook County; West Chicago and Elgin; Evanston and Skokie; Melrose Park; Bolingbrook and Romeoville; Joliet; Brighton Park, Chicago; and Chicago’s Chinatown.
Sign up to receive updates on opportunities to get involved with a campaign near you!
