We support independent politics in Illinois

We are the Illinois Committee for Independent Political Action (ICIPA), a registered Illinois PAC formed as an outgrowth of the Kennedy campaign. As our first major act, we assembled a state-wide party formation convention to establish the Independence Party.

Now that this has been accomplished, we're deploying our fearless thought, funds, and feet to support various independent causes in Illinois. Although we operate separately from the Independence Party, we consider ourselves beholden to the same ten principles and work to promote issues and candidates that align with them.

Consider joining our mailing list to attend our meetings or donating to support independent state and local politics.
