Join the Workers Center for Racial Justice (WCRJ) "power to the people committee" to protect our democracy by leveraging grassroot power through ballot initiatives. 

The fight to dismantle systems of anti-Black police brutality and establish fair access to the ballot are at the forefront of our fight for democracy. In order to harness the collective power of the people, WC4RJ is waging two binding referendums that creates 1) community oversight of the Chicago Police Board by ensuring that voters directly elect members of the Chicago Police Board and; 2) a Small Donor Matching Program for candidates running for municipal office in Chicago.

The power to the people committee leads our binding referendum campaigns by building public and political awareness for direct democracy and strategizing gathering petitions to establish precedent for direct democracy initiatives through grassroot ballot referendums in Illinois.
