We have achieved that monumental task a number of times in the last 20 years. However, the public-health measures now in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic made petitioning virtually impossible.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>Accordingly, on April 2<sup>nd</sup>, the Illinois Green Party joined with the Libertarian Party of Illinois and two independent candidates seeking ballot access in a lawsuit filed against Illinois governor J.B.

The lawsuit sought emergency injunctive relief from the petitioning requirement during the 2020 election cycle.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>Thanks to great legal work by attorneys Oliver Hall of the Center for Competitive Democracy and Ohio attorney Mark Brown (with an assist by our own Scott Summers), we not only persuaded the court, but even the defendants, that the petitioning requirements were unconstitutional under the current conditions.

We recently learned from one of our members that Nukewatch is now in especially dire straits. Please take a look at this excellent resource, and if you can see your way clear to help out with a small donation, please consider doing so.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h2><strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>Chapters meetings going virtual</span></strong><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'><o:p></o:p></span></h2><p><span style='font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#2F2F2F'>While in-person Green Party meetings and events remain on hiatus for obvious reasons, our chapters are learning to adapt by conducting video and/or phone conference calls.
