Words from our interns:

"At CAC I saw an alternative to the commonplace assumption that litigation is the only solution." -Everyday Democracy Newsletter Fall 2016

"I witnessed the significance that citizens can make in local government using the civic resource materials CAC provides." -Everyday Democracy Newsletter Fall 2016

"One common reason people reach out to CAC is because governments take actions that discourage participation in the democratic process. CAC's assitance enhances participation, affecting many communities throughout northeastern Illinois."
