SUMMARY:Drinks & Discussion: Graduated Income Tax and Census update
DESCRIPTION:Join us for dinner and robust conversation on current events. LWVEA will welcome CHANGE Illinois Executive Director Madeleine Doubek to start the conversation. \nThe evening will begin with a short update on the graduated income tax. Under LWVIL State Government Positions\, LWVIL supports a graduated income tax. And thanks to recent legislation\, voters will get to decide whether to ratify a proposed constitutional amendment switching to graduated rates in the next general election in November 2020. The change will take effect one of two ways: if three-fifths (or 60%) of people voting on the amendment approve it\, or if a simple majority (50% plus one) of all voters\, including those who skip the question on their ballots\, approve it. The proposed tax rates range from 4.75 percent up to 7.99 percent for Illinoisans who earn more than $1 million annually. \nNext up\, we will hear the latest on Census 2020. It is fast approaching and preparation for it has been late and controversial. Commerce Department officials want to ask people here whether they are citizens. The League is very concerned with the census\, and for decades LWVUS has had encouraged state and local Leagues to encourage full participation in the census\, under both the Voting Rights position and the Election Process: Apportionment position. As such\, the League engaged in efforts to remove the citizenship question from the 2020 Census. LWVNY joined one of six lawsuits across the country challenging the inclusion of the question. LWVUS joined an amicus as it headed to the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the question’s inclusion without proper vetting. LWVUS also lobbied Congress\, engaged the LWVUS Lobby Corps\, and activated its grassroot network yielding the most successful engagement campaign of 2018 all to raise awareness of the damaging effects this question would have on communities around the country. An undercount in Illinois will cost the state hundreds of millions in federal funding. It could cost the state an extra congressional district and it will affect redistricting with skewed districts if various groups of residents don’t get counted. \nAfter we hear the latest on these topics\, we will spend the rest of the evening breaking bread and discussing what we recently learned. \nThis event is free. Won’t you consider purchasing dinner from our host location? \nPlease RSVP

SUMMARY:One-day workshop: How to Run for Office – A Woman's Focus
DESCRIPTION:The League of Women Voters of the Elgin Area\, in partnership with the YWCA Elgin\, will present a non-partisan 1-day workshop on “How to Run for Office ~ A Woman’s Focus”. \nAccording to the New York Daily News\, January 29\, 2018: \n“This year is gearing up to easily eclipse 1992 as the “Year of the Woman” in American government with 526 female challengers and incumbents … setting their sights on the November midterm elections.” \nRunning for local office or helping manage a campaign is an opportunity to become involved and make a difference in your community. If you have even considered running for office\, a small investment of your time now can empower you with the knowledge needed to make the leap into politics. \nOn Saturday\, September 15\, 2018\, from 9 am to 3 pm at the YWCA Elgin you will get a chance to learn about what it takes to run for local office. We begin our session by rating yourself as a potential candidate\, what you need to know about circulating nomination petitions\, organizing the campaign\, messaging\, political ethics and finding informational resources. \nThis workshop is non-partisan and open to all. Many of our previous year’s attendees have won their local elections. \nThe cost of this workshop is $30 and includes a box lunch. \nReservations must be made by September 7\, 2018. \nTo register\, please visit www.ywcaelgin.org or call the YWCA Elgin at 847.742.7930.

SUMMARY:2018 Issues Briefing
DESCRIPTION:We have seen the terrible impact of an historic budget impasse in Illinois and witness the vocal and often hostile divides in our civil society. League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization and we learn all sides of an issue before coming to consensus on a position and advocating for legislation that supports that position. We are passionate about making democracy work for every individual in our country but how can we achieve anything when the divides distract and hamper progress? We will explore this problem and discuss solutions in numerous issue areas. We look forward to hearing your ideas about how to bridge divides for the common good. \nNew members and League veterans will benefit. Non-members are welcome too.  \nRegistration ends February 5.
