Contact your legislators and ask them to let this bill sunset! There will be those who parade around our Black & Brown students to make it appear that they really care about our students.

The Illinois State Conference NAACP endorses the sunsetting of the “Invest in Kids" voucher program because of the mass discrimination against certain groups of students and it decreases funding available to public schools across the State.

Tell City Council it’s unacceptable to put a Storage Garage behind the 1908 Race Riot National Monument! This would block the view of Eastside residents from enjoying the monument and further redlining US! CWLP can put the equipment and maintenance storage center somewhere else!

City Water, Light and Power is considering constructing an equipment and maintenance storage center in the area of the Madison and 11th Street.
