THE CHALLENGE

RCV opponents throughout the state are being funded by billionaire MAGA donors to oppose the legislation and spread misinformation about both voter experience and RCV implementation logistics.

THE SOLUTION

We lead communications strategy for Better Elections for Illinois and advise on overall campaign strategy to educate and mobalize stakeholders. Through careful message development, preparation of spokespeople and strategic press placements, we are creating the buzz and buy-in needed to motivate legislators to engage around RCV as a needed democracy reform.

Our work has included message and collateral development for different audiences, placement of op-eds by legislative sponsors in the Chicago Tribune and the Daily Herald, coverage in WBEZ, the Chicago
Sun-Times
, and earned media opportunities throughout Illinois, as well as supervising coalition building work, website & video development, and social media strategy.

THE IMPACT

This is an ongoing legislative effort. Check out our work and stay updated by visiting Better Elections for Illinois!
