(best viewed on DESKTOP computer) Radical Extremist Legislator Anne Stava-Murray tried spreading lies in a desperate scramble to push anti-parent, anti-child house bill 4876. Thanks to your 2,800+ emails sent via our OPPOSE FORM, we all halted that bill together! Rep. Anne Stava-Murray ought to meet with just one detransitioner , such as Chloe Cole . Chloe is traveling around the country to sound the alarm on the harms she endured from this medical misadventure known as "gender affirming care". Rep. Stava-Murray needs to be educated on the reality of children who are harmed by this for-profit industry that tells children they are born into the wrong body. No child can consent to puberty blockers. Not to mention, parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children.

We are pro-human. We are bipartisan. We are respectful of debate. We are proud Americans. We are Awake Illinois. 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. Download Signature Petition PDF Download Policy PDF

Any and all grassroots group, parental rights advocates, and pro-constitution citizens. Groups from outside IL are also welcome. After years of government overreach and an Illinois General Assembly that has let Governor Pritzker rule by tyranny, We the People, are a united force. 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.

Invitations will be send to select political candidates who have championed liberty, due process, and parental rights. What are the main issues? 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.
