Time for Action:
Lobby Day at the State Capitol
Lobby Day 2018
Wednesday, April 18, 2018
Springfield, IL

Please join us for Lobby Day 2018 at the State Capitol. All citizen lobbyist voices, veteran and newbie, are needed to make our voices heard with the legislature.

We will meet at the State House Inn, 101 E. Adams, in Springfield at 10 am for training and briefing on League supported legislation. Everyone is asked to talk about two bills: the Fair Tax Amendment  and Illinois Redistricting Amendment HJRCA 43. 

These constitutional amendments must be passed by both houses by the end of the spring session to get on the general election ballot. There will be a list of other bills that participants may also discuss, including the ERA.

You are encouraged to find out who in your League plans on participating, and decide who will contact your legislators' offices as soon as possible to make appointments at 10:30 am or later to see them in their Springfield offices.
  • $15 per person
  • Lunch will be provided
  • Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
