FROM CANDIDATE FOR ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL:

"This is one of the most important elections of our lifetimes. To step up and hold the line on civil rights, healthcare, and our progress toward safer communities, we must exercise the hard-won freedom to make ourselves heard at the polls. I'm ready to put my proven record of advocacy to work for you as attorney general. Your vote is your voice on Nov. 6!"  State Senator Kwame Raoul

WHAT WE BELIEVE The Coalition of African American Leaders believes that it is important to examine the critical issues confronting the African American community where injustice, inequality and the absence of access and opportunity continue to prevail, thereby negatively impacting us as a people. COAL is an assemblage that advocates and organizes for appropriate and responsible public policy change, system behavior change and equality of opportunity. We aim to achieve for all of our people the fullness of the life experience without any form of racism or exclusion as a deterrent. We believe we must prepare ourselves for the opportunity of this full participation, thereby achieving the necessary education and training to participate.
