2008 Grantees
Waukegan Leadership Council protects the welfare of immigrant and Latino residents in a city that is predominately Latino from current immigration policies of indiscriminate arrest, detainment and deportation through voter registration, education and building collaborations with non-immigrant communities of color. $3,000 (Seed)
The Get Out the Vote Coalition (GOTV) is proud to present our campaign, simply "Vote." YWCA Lake County, the Lake County Clerk's office, the League of Women Voters, College of Lake County, Citizen Action Illinois, NAACP North Chicago, Waukegan Leadership Council, the United States Hispanic Leadership Institute, and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights have banded together to promote registration activities and voting awareness particularly in communities that are either in need of empowerment or are least likely to vote:
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 34
* African Americans
* Latinos
* Naturalized citizens
* Young, unmarried women
