We are Awake Illinois
This grassroots organization was launched by everyday parents and citizens in May 2021. During the pandemic year, many of us "awakened" to the issues affecting our communities, our children, and our liberties. Awake Illinois chartered the first chapter in Naperville, Illinois, and is now expanding throughout all 4 corners of the state with 30+ chapters. In 2023, we plan for Awake chapters to launch in surrounding states.
Thanks to the volunteerism of our chapter chairs and members, our advocacy is waking up Illinoisans each day while empowering citizens to elevate their voices on topics of education, equality, legislation, civic involvement, and social welfare causes. Awake IL also embraces numerous philanthropic opportunities to advance our communities.
Join the movement here. Please consider a non-tax-deductible donation to support our statewide efforts. The connected Awake IL PAC is supporting 2023 school board candidates. An affiliated not for profit 501c3 is launching Spring 2023.
FISCAL TRANSPARENCY
Awake IL operates on an extremely lean budget with many expenses covered personally by Awake IL leadership and/or volunteers. The annual $20 membership fee alongside small donors support our social welfare advocacy, civic empowerment, and affiliated administrative expenses.
