ILBC Pillars

After the tragic deaths of George Floyd and other members of the Black community last spring sparked widespread protests, the Illinois Legislative Black Caucus seized the moment and embarked on an ambitious plan to dismantle systemic racism in the state of Illinois. After months of hearings, they introduced legislation to reform four key pillars of Illinois of government: criminal justice; education and workforce development; economic access, equity, and opportunity; and health care and human services.

  • Pillar 1: Criminal Justice Reform Pillar
  • Pillar 2: Education and Workforce Development Pillar
  • Pillar 3: Economic Access, Equity and Opportunity Pillar
  • Pillar 4: Health Care and Human Services Pillar
