Dems 45 is a community-focused, neighbor-led political organization dedicated to sustaining democracy, increasing voter turnout, advocating for just and equitable communities, and supporting Democratic candidates who embody our values.
We had a very informative community information session on Saturday recapping key legislation passed during last month’s IL veto session (public transit funding, immigration rights, mental health parity, and energy reforms), as well as insights on a path forward for a graduated income tax in IL.

Next Saturday, join Dems 45 for a community information session to recap key legislation passed by the Illinois General Assembly during its Veto Session last month, including bills addressing mass transit funding, immigration justice, clean energy reforms, and behavioral health parity.

Happy Independence Day from Dems 45! We proudly walked in Edgebrook’s 4th of July parade, and had a fun time seeing neighbors and building community. We showed up today to demonstrate our commitment to an America that stands firm for freedom, democracy, justice, civil rights, and due process.

Trump’s reckless, illegal bombing of Iran is a dangerous act of war. Congress must act now to stop it and pursue diplomacy. #peace

Juneteenth is a celebration of the day when the last enslaved African Americans in the U.S. were informed of their emancipation. As attacks on Black history increase under Trump, honoring Juneteenth is more important than ever. Celebrate freedom and liberation! Happy Juneteenth!
