Upcoming Events
Jo Daviess County Connect - September 9th
12-2PM @Galena Public Library
The second Monday of each month Lynn gathers with residents of Jo Daviess County to discuss pertinent issues that concern the county. We also discuss the agenda for the County Board Meeting that occurs the next day. This gives residents an opportunity to know what the County Board is doing, what they are voting on, and gives them input into the process.
To foster a sense of inclusion and community involvement in the decision making process, Lynn Gallagher (County Board District 11), aims to provide a platform for residents to gather and voice concerns, opinions, and suggestions. This direct feedback helps board members understand the real world impact of policies and initiatives.
This is a non-partisan opportunity for constituents to gather and ensure county board members remain connected to the communities they serve.
Disability Voting Rights Call To Action - September 12
12-2PM @Galena Public Library
Disability Voting Rights Week is a nonpartisan movement hosted by the American Association of People with Disabilities, REV UP and Lynn Gallagher, District #11 Representative on the Jo Daviess County Board. DVRW is about advocacy, celebrating community, and building power. This learning experience will include voter registration, education about issues that impact those with disabilities and creative actions.
The disability community makes up an important voting bloc. Disabled voters are a part of every community. Yet, systemic barriers prevent many people with disabilities from accessing their right to vote. DVRW was created by grassroots disabled activists. DVRW is a cross-disability, cross-movement week of action. We invite all community members and allies to join us.
