The Future of America's Democracy Depends on Fair Elections 

The future of voting and democracy in the United States is a core issue to all of us. We are excited that November’s Spotlight is part of a community partnership in presenting an unforgettable Town Hall. 

Join us to understand what will happen if The Freedom to Vote Act and The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act pass or if they don’t. Our panel of experts will also explore how we can strengthen racial justice through voting rights in Illinois, so we all have a voice.
