Action 1: Abortion Rights & Access Briefing Monday
Please join the ACLU of Illinois on Monday for a special virtual briefing on the ACLU’s work following the Supreme Court’s devastating decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, including our most recent efforts in Springfield to pass the recently signed House Bill 4664. This measure reinforces protections for abortion and gender-affirming health care in Illinois. The event will feature ACLU of Illinois reproductive rights advocates in discussion on this measure, the nationwide abortion rights landscape, and the critical work ahead.

Since that time, he has put out an online Champaign County Candidates' Guide (VoteChampaign.org) that features every candidate in Champaign County running for a contested seat in every election, whether it be a primary or general, federal/county or municipal. It is one of the most thorough candidate guides around. He is also on the Board of directors of the League of Women Voters in Champaign County. He does not just aim at registering students to vote, he works at getting them out to vote.
