Sign Witness Slips for Public Defender Oversight and Rally for Trans Rights

Sign Witness Slips for the Illinois FAIR Act

Presently, Illinois is one of just three states without any statewide oversight ensuring counties provide adequate, constitutionally-required representation for accused people with financial need. With zero state oversight, it isn't surprising that counties are universally underfunding their public defense systems, which risks putting innocent people behind bars.

The Illinois FAIR (Funded Advocacy and Independent Representation) Act would create an Office of State Public Defender to ensure counties are meeting their public defense obligations adequately and fairly.

You can support the bill by filling out witness slips for Tuesday's and Thursday's Judiciary Committtee hearings.

Meet us for the Trans Rally for Visibility on Sunday, March 30

Misinformation and dehumanizing rhetoric toward trans people fuels violence and hatred toward the trans community. Bring your signs and join us at Federal Plaza on Sunday, March 30 from 1pm to 3pm to show solidarity in the spirit of the consistent life ethic. Learn more on Mobilize.

...and across social media @RehumanizeChi

We're active across pretty much all mainstream social media. Facebook, Instagram, and Threads tend to downrank activist content, and Twitter/X has unfortunately started advocating against human rights, but Bluesky and Mastodon are two great ways to connect with us, and we're actively cross-posting to all.
