Happy Halloween, John! On the spookiest day of the year, nothing, not even a vampire 🧛 or a ghost 👻, is scarier than falling short on our fundraising goals five days before Election Day!
But with literal hours until our last End of Month Fundraising Deadline of the cycle, we're still $4,722 short of meeting our online goal.
This is seriously concerning. Not meeting this goal means we could miss out on crucial opportunities to get voters to the polls, and opportunities to support candidates on the ballot who care as much as Sen. Peters does about 1️⃣ reforming our criminal justice system, 2️⃣ supporting our working families, and 3️⃣ maintaining Illinois' status as a protector of reproductive rights.
We're ready to mobilize voters and uplift other progressive voices, but we need your help to meet this final fundraising goal. Will you chip in any amount you can spare before midnight tonight?

Happy Halloween!

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.
