We are dedicated to furthering feminist issues for the women of Chicago–including employment, sexual harassment, pay equity, childcare, helathcare, sexual violence, and educational issues.

We pride ourselves on being part of “the city that works”, a city with a long history of activism. Our intention is to make a difference in the lives of women in our city by dedicating oursevels to several key projects each year, and through community outreach political activism.
