JUSTICE FOR ALL

The Illinois Equal Justice Foundation funds civil legal aid programs across
the state, ensuring that all residents have equal access to the justice system.

These programs build stronger communities and a stronger Illinois.

We Asked, You Answered

Thank you to all of our supporters who submitted virtual witness slips in support of the Illinois Equal Justice Foundation’s civil legal aid appropriation in Attorney General Madigan’s budget.  Attorney General Madigan testified in front of the House General Services Appropriation Committee on March 8.  Of the 168 witness slips submitted for the constitutional officers’ budget hearing, IEJF supporters generated 85% of them.  THANK YOU!

Your individual legislators need to hear from you as well.  The IEJF encourages you to use the Advocacy Tool Box on its website to contact your state legislators and Governor Rauner in support of reinstated funding for civil legal aid.  Democracy made easy!  If not now, when?  TAKE ACTION!
