It's Constitution Day! On this day in 1787, the Constitution was signed in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. But, we've come a long way since then, and many things need to change. There are only 47 days left until the General Election on November 3rd, 2020. Make sure you're prepared. Here's our Week 5 Action Plan for voters.

Want to help protect voting and civil rights this election season? Make sure you discuss the issues on the ballot with those around you!

Elections directly impact those who don't have the privilege of voting, including but not limited to immigrants, those charged with felonies, or those under the age of 18. Be sure to hear their perspectives and make the best informed decision!

Many are choosing to vote by mail this election cycle. Do you have your ballot yet? We at CAIR-Chicago suggest sending in your mail-in ballots no later than Friday, October 23rd. This means you need to request your ballot ASAP if you want to vote by mail.
