The City of Chicago 2026 budget has still not been passed. Library workers and supporters have been writing to elected officials, calling and meeting with their alders, and showing up to city hall to rally and give public comment in support of a fully funded library!!

This is the last push — a budget is due by December 31, 2025. Council has set 7 meetings before the Christmas holiday. We want presence + comment at each one. Can you join for one or more?
