Through advocacy, Ascend Justice aims to radically transform existing systems and rebuild new ones in order to reduce harm and meet the needs for safety, stability, wellbeing, connection, and healing of individuals, families, and communities impacted by gender-based violence or the child welfare system.
We send out Advocacy Action emails whenever we need support to get a bill that helps survivors across the finish line. Sign up above if you want to be a part of our advocacy action team and make a real difference in Illinois!
To learn about filling out witness slips and why it matters, visit our Advocacy Opportunities page.
