Why We Fight
The fights happening
in your zip code
right now.
Policy Fight
Vacancy Tax Repeal — District 7
Council members backed by real-estate PACs are quietly moving to kill the vacancy tax that funds 400 affordable units. We have 11 days to stop the vote.
Maria Elena Vásquez
State House — District 14
Former union rep. Running against a 3-term incumbent who hasn't held a town hall since 2019.
$48k raised of $65k goal
Policy Fight
School Board Budget Cuts
Proposed $3.2M cut to after-school programs in Title I schools. Three board seats are up in April — and two incumbents are on the wrong side.
Labor Win
Prevailing Wage Ordinance
A new city ordinance would guarantee union-scale wages on all municipal contracts. It has the votes if we keep two aldermen honest through November.
Darnell Okafor
City Council — Ward 6
High school science teacher. Knocked on 3,400 doors. Down 4 points with six weeks to go.
$31k raised of $45k goal

Can't Make It?
Every dollar moves the needle.
Union electricians chip in $25/month. Retired teachers donate $10 after their pension hits. No amount is too small — bundled together, it buys ads, mailers, and staff time.

Your neighbors
didn't wait
for permission.
Brenda Kowalski
Retired 4th-grade teacher, 34 years CMSD
She knocks on 60 doors every Saturday in Slavic Village. "I taught those kids. I'm not about to let someone gut their school budget without a fight."

Marcus Delgado

Twenty-five dollars a month, automatic. "I've been in the union 11 years. This is how you protect what the union built."

First-time donor, found us through a TikTok clip
"Someone actually called me back within two hours. I've been donating to national campaigns for years and never once got a real human on the phone."
Started: $10 — now $40/mo
Carol & Jim Petrosky
Retired steelworker couple, Ward 6
They host the precinct captain training in their garage every other Tuesday. Folding chairs, bad coffee, and the precinct map pinned to the drywall.
22 trainings

Twenty-five dollars moves a race.
Small-dollar donations bundled together buy ads, mailers, and staff time that a $250k check never could — because it comes from 10,000 people who actually live here.

Attend
Pull up a chair.
Town halls, trainings, rallies — the agenda is set by precinct captains, not consultants. Every event has a concrete ask and a clear outcome.
6 events in March
"The fluorescent lights hum. The folding chairs are filling up. The hand-lettered sign is taped to the podium. The room is about to decide something."
