Mission

The West Cook Branch advocates for democratic socialism on Chicago’s West Side and Western Suburbs. This includes organizing or participating in local events that align with our values, lobbying elected officials on policy and working on local political campaigns. The Branch is also working to bridge gaps between the suburbs and disenfranchised communities of color.
