Comptroller Candidate Forum
You are invited to join us for an important Comptroller Candidate Forum on Tuesday, November 18th from 6:00–7:30 PM at the Rainbow PUSH Coalition.
Illinoisans have a critical primary election ahead, and this forum is an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates who want to represent you. Join us to learn where they stand on the issues shaping our communities—economic justice, education, housing, healthcare, voting rights, environmental stability, and more.
This event is free and open to the public, and we encourage you to bring family, neighbors, and community members. Your participation helps strengthen our collective voice and ensures that the needs of our communities remain front and center.

2026 MLK Celebration
PUSH for Excellence’s 2026 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Weekend of Events
Building a Beloved Community
Join us for PUSH Excel’s annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Weekend as we come together under the theme “Building a Beloved Community,” inspired by Dr. King’s vision of a society rooted in justice, love, and belonging.
Dr. King’s concept of the Beloved Community challenges us to reject hate, greed, and division—and instead, to create a world where everyone is valued and no one is left behind. Today, we face powerful forces that test our collective resolve: racial injustice, deepening economic inequality, persistent educational inequities, and the normalization of violence in our communities. Yet, Dr. King’s legacy calls us not only to remember his dream but to answer his demand for action.
