“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” — Mark Twain

We often hear stories from Illinoisans who find comfort in knowing others are working to advance liberty in our state — some are shocked to learn such a community exists and that it is ranked #1 among State Policy Network organizations.

Digital innovations continue to change how members of the growing liberty movement engage with each other and the Illinois Policy Institute. We are committed to developing an ecosystem that accelerates the growth of our community and allows you to quickly and easily consume and share information with your friends, family and elected officials.

As part of these efforts, we are launching a redesigned illinoispolicy.org and will be expanding our social media efforts, which currently include Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google+.

We will also continue to offer our weekly eCompass  newsletter to provide breaking news and an insider look at what's happening in Springfield and throughout the state.

These are just a few of the ways we're working to better serve you. We look forward to staying in touch online and connecting with you in person at our next event.
