Building on coalition organizing in Aurora, Elgin, and Joliet, Illinois Jobs With Justice formed the Western Alliance for Voter Education (W.A.V.E.) to talk to voters in the Western suburbs about issues including:

• Education: Illinois must fully and fairly fund public education and establish tuition-free higher education at public universities

• Medicare for All: Universal health care is a human right. We must establish "Medicare for All" (single-payer health care) the U.S. and Illinois and invest fully in our public health care systems

• Living Wage for Union Jobs: Invest in infrastructure in Illinois, expanding in our regional and statewide public transit system and services, and manufacturing the parts and equipment in Illinois

• Immigrant Rights: Protect workers' rights and stop exploitation by winning just immigration reform that provides legal status for all, and make all of our communities safe and welcoming

• Workers’ Rights: We believe in public and private sector workers' right to organize, bargain collectively for living wages and exercise union rights on the job

• Climate Action: Create a 100% clean energy economy and living wage, clean energy jobs, a new efficient energy grid, limit carbon production and pollution, and protect our water
