Please join us in supporting the work Democrats are doing up and down the ballot to protect and expand LGBTQ+ rights. From local school boards to members of Congress, Illinois has the second-highest number of LGBTQ+ elected officials in the country. DPI plays a key role in supporting these leaders and advancing their work to ensure dignity for all Illinoisians.
