Together, let us take these steps, towards increasing our political strength, towards addressing our most intransigent issues, to improve the quality of life, for all of our community:
- Make sure that every person in your immediate family, 18 years of age and older, are registered to vote (you can register in-person, at your polling place, on the day you vote!);
-
Vote early, through November 7th;
- If not early, mark your calendar to vote on election day, November 8th;
-
Take along family and friends, to vote, to ensure that we all do our part, to maximize our community's turnout.

JUDGES UP FOR RETENTION
This year, there are 61 judges running for retention in Cook County, meaning they are asking voters to give them another term. Voters will have a chance to say “yes” or “no” to keeping them on the bench and each judge has to get at least 60% yes votes to continue their service.

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.
