Illinois Special Session Proposal to Protect Civil Rights
To: Gov. Pritzker
From: A constituent in Machesney Park, IL
November 9
I am writing to encourage you to consider a special legislative session, inspired by Governor Newsom's recent actions in California, to protect Illinois residents against potential threats to civil rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and immigrant support. California’s special session is proactively preparing to defend its values and respond swiftly to any federal policies that could compromise state-level protections. Illinois could similarly lead in safeguarding our community and defending equity, reproductive freedom, and climate initiatives.
Thank you for considering this vital step to protect Illinois.
