Stay Safe Today, Be Vigilant For Tomorrow
Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The COVID-19 pandemic has thrust families and businesses in Illinois into crisis and put a spotlight on the costly and chaotic outcomes from delay in addressing global threats. Illinois is hurting, families are in mourning, and people who have the least have been hit the hardest. Communities of color are bearing the brunt of the pandemic, suffering greater loss and greater financial strain. We face unprecedented times, but Illinois is strong and will be ready to lead us through recovery with solutions that put the state back to work. As we emerge from this crisis, new and good-paying jobs will be key to the state’s recovery. Our recovery will be strengthened by the diversity of the many voices and communities that make our state strong and resilient. Equitable job creation for all Illinois residents, in particular for those who have been hit the hardest during this crisis, will be critical to building a strong economy and strong communities. The Illinois Clean Jobs Coalition is committed to helping Illinois recover and building a better, cleaner, and more equitable future for us all and for generations to come.

Our Democracy Is Too Important, The Fight Continues
Tuesday, May 26, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] The deadline to let voters decide if we should reshape our constitution and redistricting process has passed, but our fight continues. Fixing the foundation of our democracy is too important and we still can move forward toward a better redistricting process. The Illinois Redistricting Collaborative, a diverse coalition of 34 organizations, is committed to standing with the 75% of Illinois voters who want an independent citizen-led commission. Lawmakers can stand with Illinois voters and our diverse, statewide coalition by committing to passing meaningful legislative reforms before next year’s decennial redistricting. Gerrymandering is voter suppression and we must end it. We can join the ranks of people in both red and blue states across the country who have made improvements to their redistricting process.
