New Illinois to host informational meeting September 27th in Lincoln
Q&A session for a new state separate from Chicago & Cook County

[September 20, 2023] 

On Wednesday, September 27, at 6:30 PM, New Illinois will hold an informational event at the Lincoln Park District, 1400 Prim Road in Lincoln. Admission will be free of charge.

Learn about the movement for the constitutional formation of a new state separate from Old Illinois, Chicago, and urban Cook County. New Illinois is one of the leading organizations in Illinois pursuing this goal.

The United States Constitution gives us the RIGHT to representative state government. But Illinois is a corrupt, failed state. Illinois gives power to favored people, groups, and municipalities—notably Chicago and Cook County—which means it’s not fulfilling its responsibilities to the rest of its citizens. This corruption and lack of accountability has created a financial disaster.

The United States Constitution also gives us the RIGHT to pursue the formation of a new state separate from the State of Illinois. Article IV, Section 3 provides us with the process.

About New Illinois

New Illinois is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit incorporated in 2018 and active throughout the state. New Illinois’ mission is to educate Illinoisans about their right, under the U.S. Constitution, to pursue the formation of a new state. New Illinois envisions a NEW State where all residents will experience representative government, not just those living in the one county (Cook) where power is concentrated. The Declaration of Independence declares that “People are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights and can alter or abolish a government destructive of those rights.” New Illinois believes the situation in Illinois has reached this point.

New Illinois is a nonpartisan organization and does not endorse any political party or candidates.
