Strong Towns Chicago - Witness Slips

We need your support pushing Illinois bills on housing and transportation forward. Fill out a witness slip for priority bills before the upcoming deadlines. Check the excel table below for bill details!

A witness slip is a quick, formal way to tell your state legislators where you stand on a bill before it ever comes to a vote. It takes about 2 minutes and anyone can do it. Pay close attention to whether the position listed is PROPONENT (support) or OPPONENT (oppose).

How to file: Go to my.ilga.gov, find the bill, and fill out the short form. Watch Bike Grid Now’s video guide shown here for step-by-step instructions or check out this step-by-step PDF.
