Another Election Cycle, Fair Tax Day, DuPage Dems Difference Maker and Trivia Night

Another election cycle begins...
Another election cycle begins with the majority of Americans still wanting…

Medicare for all
And pay parity
And equality for LGBTQ citizens
And humane immigration policies
And protection for Social Security
And universal background checks on gun purchases
And congressional action to protect Dreamers
And convenient access to safe abortion services
And an EPA that actually protects the environment
And treating our NATO allies as allies
And strong government oversight
And respect for the rule of law
And a livable minimum wage
And net neutrality protections
And paid maternity and sick leave
And appropriate scorn for racists, bigots and misogynists
And less influence in election funding by corporations/wealthy
And full funding and strengthening of the Affordable Care Act
And equal opportunities for women and minorities
And consumer protections that actually protect consumers
And a strong, independent press
And reality-based sex ed
And well-funded public schools
And criminal justice reform
And more investment in green energy
And higher taxes on the rich
And restrictions on assault weapons
And universal Pre-K
And marijuana legalization
And leaders who put country over party

These are all issues the Democratic Party fights for. We are on the right side of issues and the right side of history. Our communities need us to stay motivated and get ready for the fight in 2020 & Beyond. Thank you for continuing to fight the good fight.

Fair Tax Day - April 30
It's time Illinois has a tax system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few. That's why we hope you'll join us on April 30th in Springfield for the Fair Tax Day of Action! With the legislature planning to vote on the fair tax amendment in the coming weeks, there's never been a more important time to make our voices heard on this critical issue. The program will kick off at noon on the Capitol Square. Please stay following the program to lobby your legislator.
