About
WELCOME to Stonewall Democrats Illinois!
We invite you to BE ACTIVE in GLBT Democratic politics in Illinois – TODAY by licking on Membership and joining Stonewall Democrats Illinois.
Stonewall Democrats Illinois is part of a national GLBT grassroots political federation. As advocates for social and political issues in our community and within the Democratic Party, we fulfill our mission through:
EDUCATION – We educate our community about the differences between the Democrats and the Republicans on our issues and the difference that party makes in moving our agenda forward. Though it’s hard to believe, around 22% of GLBT voters voted for George W. Bush in 2004, with negative consequences to the GLBT community.
ADVOCACY – We act as advocates within the Democratic Party. As a partisan political organization, we have the responsibility to insure our issues are addressed. We have the tough conversations with Democratic Party officials about why our families need and deserve more support from our party and its elected officials. “Back of the bus politics” just won’t cut it for GLBT Democrats!
MOBILIZATION - We support fair-minded Democrats who actively support our issues, defend our values against hate-inspired attacks, and understand the value we bring to the Democrat party by mobilizing our members and volunteers in their campaigns. We act to get out the vote to exercise our political power and voice. We invite you to join us whether you’re a political veteran or just getting your feet wet. Our GLBT Democratic family is diverse, energetic, fun and waiting for you.
