Leading the way for progressive values

Throughout our 25-year history Citizen Action/Illinois has played critical roles in the fight for social and economic justice. We are a movement that goes beyond advocacy; we combine policy and politics to create real change – and we can’t do it without you.


What We're Doing

Prescription Drug Affordability Town Halls: We’re holding community conversations across Illinois to push for legislation that will cap the costs of prescription drugs. Every voice, like yours, adds strength to our cause.


Campus Vote Fellows Program: We’re empowering young voices through our bold new program. These dynamic students are working to educate peers and turn out the youth vote – critical to ensuring a progressive future.


Public Financing of Elections: We're leading the fight for a fairer democracy by advocating for public financing of elections in Chicago. This levels the playing field and amplifies the voices of everyday people over big money interests.


Join Our Movement

We believe that we all do better when we all do better. Your contribution directly funds our work in grassroots organizing, uplifting progressive candidates, and advocating for legislation that will create positive progressive change in our communities.
