Voter's Engagement Rally 10.29.22

I hope that each of you are doing well. Our Voter Engagement Rally is this Saturday. We are asking that you help us get the word out to as many people as you can in your network, community and family. We must increase our participation in the political process by voting. This is the only way to assure real change in our communities which has a direct impact on each one of us and our families. Our power lies with the vote. Our respect at all levels depends on how we vote. No vote, No power equals No respect. We must continue to register, educate and mobilize voters to improve positive outcomes at the polls. WE NEED YOUR HELP!
 
We will also be doing Parade to the Polls after the Rally at 1pm.
Chicago Votes will be leading the parade with the Wendell Phillips High School band for early voting to the polling place at YMCA 6330 S. Stony Island.
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.
