DON'T SKIP THE JUDGES
61 Cook County Judges are up for retention this year
Judges decide sentencing, bail, custody, and eviction cases — matters that touch daily life more than almost any other office. A judge needs only 60% "yes" to stay on the bench, so an informed vote here goes further than almost anywhere else on the ballot.
AKARAMA'S VOTE CHALLENGE:
Help 8 neighbors register, 8 neighbors check ballots, and 8 neighbors get to the polls to vote.
Every vote compounds like a dollar in the community's account — and every voter who shows up makes our priorities harder to ignore.
