Fighting for a democracy that works for everyone.

What We Do

For over 20 years, we’ve led the charge for a more equitable and ethical Illinois government by addressing the role of money in politics, reducing public corruption, and empowering voters with fair, accessible elections.

We are a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)3 that educates the public and advocates for reforms that transcend party lines and strengthen our democracy.
