We are Awake Illinois
This grassroots organization was launched by everyday parents and citizens in May 2021. During the pandemic year, many of us "awakened" to the issues affecting our communities, our children, and our liberties. Awake Illinois chartered the first chapter in Naperville, Illinois, and is now expanding throughout all 4 corners of the state with 30+ chapters. In 2023, we plan for Awake chapters to launch in surrounding states.
Thanks to the volunteerism of our chapter chairs and members, our advocacy is waking up Illinoisans each day while empowering citizens to elevate their voices on topics of education, equality, legislation, civic involvement, and social welfare causes. Awake IL also embraces numerous philanthropic opportunities to advance our communities.
Join the movement here. Please consider a non-tax-deductible donation to support our statewide efforts. Awake IL PAC is set to fundraise Q1 2023.
FISCAL TRANSPARENCY
Awake IL operates on an extremely lean budget with many expenses covered personally by Awake IL leadership and/or volunteers. The annual $20 membership fee alongside small donors support our social welfare advocacy, civic empowerment, and affiliated administrative expenses.

Awake IL Leadership and Liaisons
The Executive Board consists of President, Vice President, and Director. Each volunteer operates as an unpaid advocate to advance a variety of social welfare issues. The views expressed by the organization are independent of board/liaison employers, companies, or affiliates. Any person who commits doxxing or harassment against the leadership team and/or members will be subject to investigation. We're talking to you especially, "Frank Rizzo"/"Willy/Big Tuna/Tavernstyled" and all the internet trolls. Can't cancel us!
