To engage the public on matters critical to reform, Reform for Illinois hosts regular educational forums open to anyone. The forums focus on timely, relevant topics and often feature expert panels, key policymakers and candidates.

This year, we’re recognizing four of our state’s brightest stars: people who have spoken truth to power, protected our most vulnerable residents, and dedicated their lives to strengthening our democracy and serving the people of Illinois.
There’ll be food, an open bar, inspiration, and great company. And, of course, the opportunity to support Reform for Illinois’ mission. As the nation faces unprecedented threats to our core democratic values, this is a crucial moment to come together, honor those on the front lines, and recommit to building a fair, accountable government for all.
