The Grassroots Collaborative unites eleven membership-based organizations in Illinois in order to create policy change on local and statewide levels.
Our alliance spans diverse ethnicities and a variety of organizing networks; including low-wage service employees, the homeless, senior citizens, immigrants, peace activists, faith leaders, and residents of poor and working class neighborhoods.
Your support today will directly help raise critical funds to advance the work of the Collaborative in 2019, training and mobilizing leaders for our movement for racial and economic justice in Illinois.
