Mr. Rauner is currently threatening to close the Illinois State Museum if the legislature does not give him what he wants. Help make him understand that the museum is a vital part of the history and education of the great state of Illinois, and more importantly, that people should never be used as pawns!

I have had the opportunity to volunteer at the Illinois State Museum and see firsthand what a vital role it plays in the education of our citizens. More importantly, I've had a chance to work with the amazing staff of the ISM, both on the public side and the research side, and I know they take their mission to heart. Closing the ISM would leave a void in the culture of the state, and these passionate and hard-working people will be caught in the crossfire of the dangerous game Mr. Rauner is playing. Join me in making him understand that people's lives matter.
