Whether you are a small community group or a larger statewide effort, we will restore IL together. See Coalition Groups listed below. ​ What is the goal? This event will symbolize that regular people are THE voice in Illinois. Many of us are feeling like political orphans in the wake of harmful pandemic policies, anti-child agendas, and woke ideologies led by democrats and barely fought by weak republicans. The time is now to ensure a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our children cannot advocate for themselves, so we must take a stand for them. The General Election is November 8, 2022. Wherever you fall in the political spectrum, join us as Americans who have HOPE for Illinois and the future of our country. ​ How will we convey the message? This event will be a RESPECTFUL and professional display of thought leaders and advocates. Anyone displaying contrary behavior will be asked to detach from the caravan. From testimony to inspirational calls to action, this will be an illustration of the HOPE we have the Land of Lincoln.

Parental Rights Sex Ed/Gender Ideology Education Freedom Safe Communities/Crime Government Overreach/Smaller Government Modernized Infrastructure Pro-America/Anti-Marxism ​ Why the "Common Sense Caravan"? To solve the biggest problems plaguing Illinois merely takes COMMON SENSE. We invite state and local leadership to bring HOPE to Illinois by working alongside the coalition on reasonable solutions that will protect children, make for safer communities, promote parental rights, improve educational outcomes, reduce government bloat, and modernize our state infrastructure.

Policy on Equality and Civil Rights in Education Policy first introduced by Awake IL President June 21, 2021: Anyone advocating for equality in education is welcome to download, print, and propose this policy to your own school district/agency. This proposal is adapted from the Citizens for Renewing America template and is provided to you by Awake IL for consideration as an established policy/resolution. ​ It is comprehensive in its definitions of “critical theory” and divisive curricula. It protects students and staff from participation in the defined divisive concepts. It stipulates the liabilities of policy violations. It incorporates a clause that will protect taxpayer funds from going towards defined divisive concepts. ​ Awake IL looks forward to seeing school districts/affiliated agencies establish either this statement or a similar policy to ensure all students and staff are treated fairly under the Constitution of the United States of America, the Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights. ​ UPDATE Nov. 2021: New Petition Sheet to gather community signatures prior to requesting the school district adopt the policy. ​ UPDATE May 2022: Read and download the Southeastern Legal Foundation Parents Guide to Your Child's Rights in Education.
