Progressive Alternatives for Chicago--Electing a progressive city council
On February 24th 2015, Chicago voters will be able to change the way our city is governed by electing grassroots progressive candidates to the City Council. Progressive victories in Chicago will send a message across the nation that average people want a voice in their government.
- Dianne Daleiden 40th ward,
- Carlos Rosa 35rd ward, and
- John Arena 45th ward.
They are genuine grassroots progressives who will be independent of City Hall and will work for the average people in their wards instead of the Mayor’s big donors.
The Mayor has raised a special fund of several millions to defeat progressive alderman and challengers because they threaten his control. Please help build an independent political base in Chicago by donating to these candidates.
Except for a small fee taken by Act Blue, all funds go to the campaigns.
