Our Four Pillars
Mainstreet Illinois organizes around four foundations of a healthy community. We're not asking people to agree on everything — these are the priorities we believe almost everyone can get behind.
Safe Communities
Every family deserves safe streets, safe schools, safe houses of worship, and safe public spaces.
Affordable Life
Working and middle-class families should be able to build stable lives, raise children, own homes, and start businesses.
Strong Schools
Schools should be safe, serious, transparent, academically strong, and worthy of parent and community trust.
Shared Civic Identity
America needs a civic culture strong enough to hold people together across race, religion, ethnicity, class, and party.
