Thanks to everyone who came out today! We had a great discussion with folks in our community about how a progressive income tax would impact community services and resources. Mental health services, middle schools, after school programs, and community organizing were some of the salient examples people expressed as things they’d want to see funded.
Thank you to Kylah, Morgan, Jose, Ben, Stephanie, Alyssa, Ryan, and Ruben for organizing a terrific meeting! And thank you State Representative Will Guzzardi for explaining how the Illinois Fair Tax referendum and amendment would work! Stay tuned for more actions coming up related to this and other progressive causes!

31st Ward Independent Political Organization's (IPO)
Hello and welcome to the 31st Ward Independent Political Organization's (IPO), an independent organization dedicated to improving the lives of residents of Chicago's 31st Ward. The ward includes the residents of Logan Square, Avondale, Hermosa, Belmont-Cragin, and Portage Park.
Our Vision
The organization is seeking to build a people-led independent movement to ensure local residents are engaged in local decision-making, and that our local elected officials are accountable to our neighborhoods, not powerful special interests.
Our key focus areas include:
Immigrant and labor rights
Fair taxes and revenue solutions
Fully funded schools
Safe streets
Affordable housing
Ending unchecked corporate greed
Ending political corruption and nepotism
Accomplishments
Over the past six months this organization has knocked on 1000s of doors, and held a major town hall meeting in the ward with over 150 people in August at Kosciuszko Park with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx.
