Are you interested in state politics? Have you followed the state’s budget, prison reform and environmental bills? You might want to join the legislative action teams we’re forming to meet periodically with our state representatives and state senators.
We’ll be encouraging our local reps to follow a progressive agenda as they vote in Springfield. Separate teams are being formed in each legislative district. We’ll be letting our representatives know our concerns and highlighting the bills endorsed by UU Action Network of Illinois (UUANI) and Community Renewal Society (CRS).
Our current priority is to contact our representatives prior to the veto session which starts October 19. If you’d like to join us, contact Jane Bannor at jbannor@sbcglobal.net .
We hope to forge meaningful bonds with the legislators who represent us. Separate teams are being formed for each Evanston-adjacent legislative district. If you live far from Evanston, we’ll try to connect you with interested UUs in your area.
