This year, PAVE is heading to Springfield to protect our democracy. We continue to step up to do our part, despite the direct attacks on our communities. We call on Illinois leaders to courageously do the same. Protect Our Futures.

This year, PAVE is fighting to:

Protect Health Benefits for Immigrants

Protect Immigrant Data
Create Opportunities for Post-Conviction Relief
Fund Immigrant Services
Increase Access to Justice
Fund Inclusive History
Pass Progressive Revenue Solutions
Protect the Community Care Program
Fund Faith by Plate
