We Must Act.

9/1/2020

 
Another day, another hashtag.

We have no words, other than, enough. Enough of the state-sanctioned violence against Black and Brown communities; enough of the hypocrisy we see in interactions between police and white assailants with weapons of war and unarmed Black individuals; and enough of the inaction by our leaders. If we want justice, things must change. And it is on us to take action.
That is why we are calling on you, our RW family, to act. Each and everyone of us have more power than we realize, and if we hope to see this violence and racism end, then we must use our power and voice. 

Here are just a few of the ways you can act and make your voice heard:
  • Register to vote (https://ova.elections.il.gov/) & make sure your community does the same
  • Complete the census (https://2020census.gov/) & make sure your community does the same
  • Have difficult conversations with yourself and others about racial biases and systemic injustices and build ways in which you can help create more equity and opportunity.

RW is involved with several advocacy coalitions to identify and eliminate unjust policies that perpetuate systemic oppression. In the coming months we will be uplifting specific policy initiatives supporting communities. If we want these policies to become reality, then we will need your support, your network, and your voice.

We will need every call, every vote, and every voice. We need you.
