Between now and Election Day (Nov. 5th), Democracy Project fellows will get out the vote 🗳️ in eight key geographies: Lake County; Suburban Cook County; West Chicago and Elgin; Melrose Park; Bolingbrook and Romeoville; Joliet; Brighton Park, Chicago; and Chicago’s Chinatown

🧵 Yesterday, we officially launched our 2024 Democracy Project! 🎉🎉 For the past 20+ years, the goal of this fellowship has been to train new leaders to organize in their communities and mobilize immigrant voters and allies to support pro-immigrant policies.

We are in the final countdown & our team has been participating in multiple back to school fairs making sure the community has access to resources. Shoutout to @repdagmara & her team for organizing two great events one in Bolingbrook & one in Fairmont. #community

Our team had a great time sharing resources and information with hundreds of families at the back to school fair hosted by @StateRepManley & @SenatorMeg49 at the University of St. Francis in Joliet. #community
