We need YOU to be there to send a strong message to Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx that the people of Cook County are hungry for an overhaul of the county's racist criminal justice system. Help us hold Foxx accountable to her campaign promises for reform.

Other elected officials will make public commitments to advance our "People and Planet First" agenda in Springfield and Washington. We'll also lift up our plan to build a pipeline of candidates capable of challenging corporate Democrats from the left and filling the increasing number of empty seats in Springfield. 

In the past year, The People's Lobby and Reclaim Chicago have won some important victories, including increasing the Cook County Minimum Wage, knocking the doors and calling the phones of 300,000 voters to elect Kim Foxx, playing a key role in pushing Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans to reform Cook County's racist money bond system, and closing $125 million in corporate tax loopholes.

But these victories are the tip of the iceberg in terms of the changes our communities need to thrive. Join us for a conversation about how we can create a movement powerful enough to reclaim government so we can win Medicare for All, taxes on the rich and corporations to pay for a massive expansion of public services, an end to mass incarceration, a public sector jobs program, a clean energy economy, and more.
