The storm is here, but we at Impact for Equity aren’t afraid. We’re going to stay standing. Stand with us as we combat injustice together.

- Renew Chicago’s commitment to public housing, which has been woefully unresponsive in the decades since the Plan for Transformation was implemented 25 years ago;

- Build a more just future for the incarcerated and bring an end to the practice of mass incarceration.

- Advocate for reform of current traffic stop laws, which are used to stop Black and Brown Chicagoans at alarming rates as compared to their white peers;

Your gift will support our critical work in Chicago and Illinois to:

- Achieve the vision of the Affordable Housing Planning and Appeal Act, which was passed in the hope of improving housing affordability across the State of Illinois;

As you consider your giving for the end of the year, we hope you will consider Impact for Equity and our mission to bring justice to the housing and criminal legal systems.

With the support of donors like you, we can continue to advance our mission and advocate for those who need it the most.

That community is our lifeline of support. We cannot do this work alone. We are an independent donor-funded organization that relies on the generosity of individual and philanthropic partners to advance our mission.

And we have been rewarded with the formation of a community of our own, of individuals and groups who come together for the causes of equity and justice.

Dedication to equity is especially important in these troubled times. The obstacles we face are many and multifaceted, but time and again, Impact for Equity rises to the occasion, centering communities in all our efforts.

Impact for Equity sees a future beyond mass incarceration where the Illinois prison population is further reduced without the significant cost to taxpayers or the significant injustice experienced by the incarcerated.

Free trade comes with trade-offs and sacrifices, and one of those big sacrifices was manufacturing jobs. That destroyed the Democratic Party coalition.

But other than that, what, pray tell, @mattyglesias.bsky.social has the American right been correct about?

Illinois can and must do better for its people. Our deepest condolences go to Sonya Massey's family as they grieve their loved one and continue to seek justice and accountability.

This case underscores the need for a strong state police officer decertification system to ensure problem officers are discovered and removed, rather than allowing them to move from department to department and escape consequences.

Sean Grayson, who has a history of officer misconduct, should never have been in a position to be in Sonya Massey's home responding to her calls for help.

Sonya Massey was a daughter, a mother, and loved one who called police for assistance and was met with horrifying brutality. But this murder never should have happened.
