CHANGE Makers, come out for a drink + some time to get active! Now is the time for Illinois to have a stronger Voting Rights Act to protect voters against federal legislation, and we need your help!
'Tis the tabling season! Look for CHANGE Illinois out and about this summer, tabling and registering voters at events across the city and suburbs! Also, kudos to our volunteer Alissa for registering voters at A Day in Our Village in Oak Park!
Last week, CHANGE Illinois, along with the Illinois Black Advocacy Initiative, hosted our first town hall to discuss the need for a strong, modern Illinois Voting Rights Act. Thank you to everyone who attended, including members of the Oak Park League of Women Voters.
More than 150 postcards completed! Thank you to our CHANGE volunteers for coming out to Marz Brewing to write postcards asking for support for the Illinois Voting Rights Act!
Calling all West Side + West Suburban Cook County residents! Please join us at the Oak Park Library, with community partners, to discuss the need for a NEW Voting Rights Act in the State of Illinois. buff.ly/idGPHGi
We are stronger when we stand together. The Illinois Voting Rights Act is about ensuring that every community is fairly represented and that our power isn't diluted. Join us in demanding a fairer future for all Illinoisans. 🤝 👉Take action TODAY: buff.ly/tvg4pxu
Federal voting rights are being dismantled across the country. It’s time to step up and protect our right to vote at the state level. Support the Illinois Voting Rights Act of 2026. It only takes a minute to make your voice heard. 👉 Take action TODAY: buff.ly/tvg4pxu
Huge thank you to Smash Jibarito for hosting this month's After Work Action! With help from the Sigma Lambda Gamma alumni chapter and others, we wrote over 200 letters to incarcerated individuals informing them of their rights! Stay tuned for more details on the next event!
The fight to protect voting rights in Illinois is not over. As our ED, Ryan Tolley, said on Chicago Tonight, “we have to remember who is losing out here, it’s voters… There’s legislation in the statehouse to create an Illinois Voting Rights Act.” buff.ly/LsGPXHZ
Thank you to the 15th District Police Department for having CHANGE Illinois volunteers Anne and Kate at the Block Club Fest! It was wonderful to connect with residents, organizations, and most importantly, register voters!
In May, our volunteers will be in Humboldt Park to continue working to ensure we restore representation for our incarcerated neighbors + end prison gerrymandering. Join us at Smash Jibarito for food, friends, + action! To learn more and register, visit: buff.ly/VwZdarz
Last week, residents in Oswego and Joliet Townships demanded that their communities have a say on Fair Maps, and they won. To learn more, check out the press release at Changeil.org. Message us if you want to join the fight to end gerrymandering in Illinois.
Oswego changemakers! Come out and meet our Organizing Director, enjoy a drink on us, and learn about the work our part-time organizer has been doing in the area and how you can get involved! Register today at buff.ly/dUK5WZQ! We would love to see you there.
Happy Election Day, Illinois! Get out and vote today. Find your polling location: buff.ly/NOOH5G9 Find a VBM drop box: buff.ly/Sn2awi6 Polls are open 6:00 am - 7:00 pm. Call 866-OUR-VOTE if you have questions or issues.
We are one week away from Election Day on March 17th! Do you have last-minute questions on voting by mail, voter registration, or early voting? Keep watching to make sure you can cast your vote for the 2026 Primary Election!
Have you made your voting plan yet? Follow along as we give you tips and tools to help you go to the polls informed and prepared!
Illinois needs a Voting Rights Act! With federal protections under attack, our freedom to vote is on the line, especially for communities of color. The #ILVRA will ensure we’re building a democracy that works for all of us. Learn more about the work and how you can help!
Allow us to reintroduce ourselves and the work we are doing here at CHANGE! Follow along as we dig into who we are, what we've done, and what we are doing.
Join us on March 4th at Robert's Westside in Forest Park for an evening of text banking! Help us encourage neighbors to support the Illinois Voting Rights Act (SB3170), enjoy a complimentary cocktail, and take action! buff.ly/nNo6RS8
We are excited to partner with BUILD + Westside Rising to get voters ready and registered this election season! Whether you're looking to learn more about the upcoming March 17 primary election or discuss how to empower voters, this event is for you. buff.ly/WrYnd9x
