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 Chicago
- Tax reform (like a land value tax perhaps?)
- 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
- Democratically founded, community-based policies
- CPD reform
- 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.
The Chicagoland Pirate Party meets every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month. We are presently seeking a permanent meeting place where we can have in-person meetings while livestreaming and allowing direct interaction with those who wish to remain online.
If you have a location you wish to suggest within the perimeters of Chicagoland, please contact us at chicagolandpirates@gmail.com
