MAKING DEMOCRACY WORK

The Chicago Tribune recently published a letter to the editor from LWV Chicago President Jane Ruby promoting a Ranked Choice Voting system for Chicago elections.

For the first time in American history, the promise of true equality under the law is here. This decision carries the potential to shape a future where no one is denied their full rights or dignity based on their gender.

We proudly stood alongside leaders from Vote Equality and Equal Means Equal in a protest at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. to call on President Biden to take decisive action to publish the ERA.

We took a trip to Washington DC for the 101st anniversary of the ERA being introduced into Congress, rallying in support of adding the ERA to the US Constitution.

We joined Alder Matt Martin and other grassroots organizations for a Southside Town Hall to discuss the Chicago Fair Elections Ordinance and how people can get involved.

The women of the United States have been waiting for more than a century to see the Equal Rights Amendment made part of the Constitution. They have waited long enough.

It’s budget time for the City of Chicago! The City Council’s Budget Committee is in the midst of meeting with all the departments to go over the proposed budget for 2025 presented by Mayor Johnson.  

LWV Chicago President Jane Ruby appeared on ABC 7 Chicago to speak about this week’s DEMOCRACY AT RISK film festival.
