Second Saturday Meeting
Second Saturday Meeting
Join us to learn about news and events coming up in your local Democratic Party.
The Rally begins at 12pm at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield at the Lincoln Statue! Let's show the Illinois General Assembly how many people from across Illinois expect to see the Equal Rights Amendment ratified in the House this May!!
No, the Equal Rights Amendment *still* has not been passed, which means gender equality is still NOT part of the U.S. Constitution.
YOU can be a part of making sure that the ERA finally gets ratified! If Illinois ratifies the ERA that means that only ONE more state would be needed. Congress passed it back in 1972 but needed 38 states to ratify it before going into effect. Illinois could be #37! For details, click here.

My heart goes out to the people of Maywood and the family of my dear friend, Karen Yarbrough. For decades, Proviso Township could always count on the fact they had a champion fighting on their behalf in state and local government.
I first met Karen nearly three decades ago and have admired her ever since. She had an infectious enthusiasm for people and her mere presence brought ease, comfort, stability, and warmth to every room and any situation.
Her long tenure in public life and multiple leadership positions in the Democratic Party were no accident. They were the product of hard work, dedication, and a deep affinity for the wellbeing of others.
My thoughts and prayers are with Henderson, her family, and all of us reeling from losing one of our dear friends and most steadfast partners in the pursuit of a better community. -Don Harmon, Committeeman
