Action 1: Get Johnson to the Finish Line Tomorrow!
Brandon Johnson stands alone in the Chicago mayoral race as a leader whose progressive policies will create opportunities and a Chicago that works for us all. This is why the Indivisible Chicago Alliance Council has voted unanimously to endorse Brandon Johnson for Mayor.
His opponent, Paul Vallas, would trample civil rights with failed policing strategies, has a catastrophic record of mismanagement that runs educational systems into the ground, and is backed by right-wing extremists. He is a dangerous choice for Chicago.
Share the details about the exciting change Johnson will bring to our city, and make sure your family, friends and neighbors understand the importance of voting in this election TOMORROW, Tuesday, April 4.
But it’s not enough to talk about why we support Johnson and fear Paul Vallas’ extremist platform. With national MAGA donors pouring money into Vallas’ coffers, we must actively campaign for the policies we believe in. We have to do the work.
Sign up now to help boost voter turnout for Brandon Johnson by joining phone banks, canvassing, and other activities in the last hours before the April 4 runoff. Wear your Indivisible gear and look for our Indivisible leaders who will be there to support your work.
Early voting is happening NOW through tomorrow, Election Day! Find all election info here and make sure to tell your friends and family to vote Johnson!
