We're in the middle of the JCUA Votes summer membership drive, and Political Committee member Isaac Gamoran is here to share why YOU should become a member!

Just four years ago, we launched this organization to change what was possible in Chicagoland politics alongside our partners. So far, we've achieved huge victories in housing, community development, police accountability, mental health and more -- all because we were able to elect progressive champions who shared our values and supported our campaigns.

Now, as we get ready for two important elections over the next year, we need to build even more people power, in order to protect our wins and expand on them so that our city and state are truly safe, welcoming, and just for all people!

You can do that by becoming a dues-paying member at jcuavotes.org/donate

Yasher koach to Brad Lander, who got his start right here with JCUA, on winning the Democratic primary yesterday in New York's 10th Congressional District!

Back in 1989, when Brad was a University of Chicago student, he joined JCUA as our Associate Outreach Director, where he organized on the South and West Sides and connected Jewish institutions to our work. We were proud to honor him with the Rabbi Marx Award for Social Justice at Acts of Change in 2022.

We know that Brad will be a fantastic member of Congress. Huge congrats to Brad and to our friends at JFREJ, where Brad is an active member and whose organizing helped make this happen!

JCUA Votes is thrilled to congratulate our endorsed candidate Miguel Alvelo-Rivera, who last night won the Democratic primary for the 40th Illinois House district. This victory is a triumph of our people-powered movement.

We endorsed Miguel because of his track record working for immigrants' rights and affordable housing, and we look forward to supporting him in the November 3 general election and working together to advance our shared agenda.

Not all of yesterday's results were what we'd hoped. Our campaigns to elect Robert Peters (CD-02) and Sunjay Kumar (IL-13) fell short of victory. These losses hurt. But we know that our path to power does not run in a straight line, and that it is slow, deliberate, unglamorous work of building a movement that can win durable victories for years to come. The relationships JCUA Votes built during this campaign will endure beyond this election, and we will enter future races stronger than before.

We knew these elections wouldn’t be easy. PACs funded by sports betting, crypto, AI, Meta, and other right-wing donors poured millions of dollars into those two races in order to defeat our people-powered candidates. These big money interests are a powerful force. In order to defeat them, we’ll need to organize more people, and more money, than we did this cycle.

THANK YOU to our amazing members who interviewed candidates, knocked doors, made phone calls, stood outside voting sites, and turned out on a bitterly cold Election Day when it mattered most. This was not a small endeavor. This was the work of people who believe that organizing can change the world.

Join us tomorrow evening at 6pm at Sketchpad for a post-election debrief: jcuavotes.org/events.

JCUA Votes is celebrating a huge win today! 🎉

Mazel tov to Miguel Alvelo Rivera, our endorsed candidate for Illinois House in the 40th District, who just defeated nearly $1M in outside SuperPAC spending with a people-powered campaign,

Miguel has spent his career fighting for immigrant rights and housing justice. Now he takes that fight to Springfield. We are proud to have stood with him, and look forward to working together in Springfield. ¡La lucha nunca cesa!

4 Days Until Election Day!

Right now, PACs funded by DraftKings, Meta, and the Realtors' Association are pouring money into races to defeat our endorsed candidates. They want representatives who'll protect their profits. We want representatives who'll tax the rich and fund our communities.

Chicago voters need to hear from us!

Sign up for Election Day shifts for Robert Peters and Sunjay Kumar through the link in our bio. Let's knock doors and make calls from now until Tuesday, then come together on Thursday, March 19 at 6:00 PM to celebrate our work, debrief the results, and plan for what's next.

It's not every week you get the chance to send a JCUA Votes member to Congress.

It's not every week you get the chance to elect a champion for freedom who doesn't just talk the talk but who passed a law to free people from jail.

It's not every week you get to confront the billionaires aligning with tyrants for their own enrichment.

This week, you can do all three.

There's one week left to get out the vote with JCUA Votes for Robert Peters for Congress and Sunjay Kumar for Illinois House. Sign up for a shift at an early voting site and on Election Day at jcuavotes.org/events.
