Senator Peters is a strong advocate for our community's hardest workers, our mothers, our families, and our environment – and it shows in his work to reform the criminal justice system, keep our streets safer, protect our youth, preserve our access to healthcare, and defend the working class. That's how he's gotten the endorsements of so many major people-first agencies.

But he's still missing one of the most important endorsements, John: yours.

We're proud to have the recognition of such wonderful organizations, but people-powered campaigns like ours are depending on support from folks across the district to share the Senator's story and the positive impact his work has had on our community.

Our February End of Month Fundraising Deadline is tonight, John. Can you chip in to help us raise the $781 we need to reach our goal and continue spreading the word?

Thank you,

Senator Robert Peters was born in 1985 deaf and with a massive speech impediment. His biological mother was addicted to drugs and alcohol, and his adopted mother and father were a social worker and a civil rights lawyer. He saw first hand the impact and devastation of the racist war on drugs.

As he grew up, he admired the work his father did as a civil rights and criminal defense attorney, challenging wrongdoing by the police. This combined with the effect of the criminalization of addiction, inspired his work on criminal justice reform rooted in the safety, freedom, and wellness of all people.

A defining moment for Peters was the Great Recession, as he struggled to find work and lost his parents within a year and a half of each other. He found his power through political organizing in solidarity with a variety of organizations in Chicago fighting for justice.

As a state senator, Peters has championed the end of cash bail in Illinois after years of organizing around it before becoming a Senator. This legislative session alone, Peters has passed six bills out of the Senate, as he continues to push Illinois forward as a leader in criminal justice reform and true public safety for all. He chairs the Labor Committee in the Senate and is Chair of the Senate Black Caucus. He is focused on environmental justice, racial justice, economic freedom, and public safety for all.
