\n \n Restore Justice Advocacy Team\n <\/h1>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n

Our Advocacy Team is for anyone who lives in Illinois and wants to advocate for legislative change. We ask team members to spend a few minutes each week during the January-May legislative session contacting their legislators. We host an optional 30-minute check-in on Fridays during session.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n
