Leadership counts more than ever. Every voter’s voice is at risk if nothing is done to improve the remap process before May 3. Failure to improve redistricting will leave communities un- or under-represented.

CHANGE Illinois is proud to work with these organizations, and many others, in the Illinois Redistricting Collaborative.These are just some of the dozens of groups that have endorsed the Fair Maps Amendment (SJRCA18/HJRCA 41):

● Asian-Americans Advancing Justice – Chicago
● Chicago Coalition for the Homeless
● Chicago Urban League
● Chicago Votes
● Common Cause Illinois
● Indivisible Illinois
● John Howard Association
● Latino Policy Forum
● League of Women Voters Illinois
● Mujeres Latinas en Accion
● NAACP Chicago – South Side Branch
● National Rainbow PUSH Coalition
● Workers Center for Racial Justice

The Illinois Redistricting Collaborative includes 33 organizations fighting for a fair and equitable redistricting process. Gerrymandering is voter suppression. It needs to stop.

Lawmakers can stand with Illinois voters and our diverse, statewide coalition by sponsoring HJRCA41 and SJRCA18 and by calling on leadership to allow votes. Together, we can bring equity to Illinois representation.
