The 2024 General Election is set to be one of the most consequential of our time. From the top of the ballot to the bottom, there is an all-out effort to return to a time when minorities and women had fewer rights and less access to opportunity. In an age of voter suppression efforts in many states, widespread misinformation, deceptive social media tactics, and outright lies, exercising our right to vote is more important than ever.

The Chicago Urban League is answering the National Urban League’s call to Defend Democracy, Demand Diversity, and Defeat Poverty by working to increase voter education and turnout in Illinois and surrounding states.

And we need your help!

This webpage will keep you informed about our efforts and how you can get involved. Check back weekly for updates.
