Platform

Our branch’s platform is centered around Chicago centric issues and Chicagoland issues in general. You’ll soon see positions on issues such as:

• Fighting political corruption
• More co-ops in Chicagoland
• Tax reform and easing the burden for the people who need it most
• Extending the “L” to better serve Chicagoans
• Making the CTA free to residents of the City of Chicago
• Recognizing and celebrating Chicagoan and Chicagolander identity and culture, fostering regional connectivity and investing in our neglected Chicago neighborhoods and Chicagoland communities
• Democratically founded, community-based policies
• Demilitarizing the police and bring community back into our municipalities
• Keeping Lake Michigan water in Lake Michigan
• Making sure starting business ventures is a game everyone can get play, not just the already-established

We’re working on it. See the ILPP’s platform in the meantime.
