If you’ll be at the State Fair, we hope you’ll stop by the ACLU of Illinois table to learn about our work defending civil rights and civil liberties across Illinois, how we are standing up to the abuse of federal powers, and what you can do to advocate for your values. We will be there if you have questions, want to share what issues matter most to you, or just want to grab some free ACLU swag and know your rights cards. We hope to see you there!

Please join the ACLU of Illinois for our annual Lunch on Tuesday, April 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM. The event will be held at the Hilton Chicago and a virtual livestream will be available. We look forward to gathering with members of the ACLU community from across Illinois to celebrate the work of the past year, recommit to the ongoing fight for civil rights and liberties, and raise funds critical to our work. Stay tuned for keynote speaker and additional program announcements. We encourage you to sponsor a table or purchase individual tickets today!
