Illinois Dames for Democracy - Formerly SWEEP Illinois
Illinois Dames for Democracy is more than a group—it's a movement fueled by purpose, passion, and the power of community. Our mission is simple yet deeply impactful: to connect, empower, and inspire individuals across the state to take meaningful action toward positive, lasting change. We believe that every voice matters and that collective action starts with individual commitment. Whether you're just beginning your civic journey or have been advocating for years, there is a place for you here. We welcome people from all walks of life who are united by a shared vision of equity, justice, and democratic values. Through educational events, grassroots organizing, community outreach, and open dialogue, we provide a platform where ideas can flourish, voices can be amplified, and real progress can take root. Whether you're here to learn, share your perspective, or contribute your energy to building a stronger, more inclusive Illinois, you'll find a vibrant and supportive community ready to stand with you. Together, we are reshaping what democracy looks like—one conversation, one action, and one empowered individual at a time.

NEO Progressive Collective
We are better, stronger together. NEO Progressive Collective is a group of like-minded women in the eastern-ish suburbs who are interested in advocacy and activism as we work to fight extremism and protect democracy. Our mission is to educate ourselves on important local, state and national issues so we can organize, take action and support our communities (and each other) over the next four years and beyond. If you're feeling helpless or hopeless and looking to "do something," we hope you'll join us. I truly believe collectively we can be very powerful. Questions, or comments? Contact Amanda at: [email protected] Find us on Facebook: NEO Progressive Collective Meetings are the last Monday of the month.
