Hi Everyone,

The newest edition of Grassroots Quarterly (GRQ) has arrived, and I'm excited to share what I believe is our best issue yet. Packed with practical training opportunities, inspiring ideas, and resources to help you become a more effective community leader, this edition reflects the exciting direction Illinois Freedom Alliance is taking through our new Grassroots Academy.

IFA members receive GRQ FREE as part of their membership. If you're not yet a member, now is the perfect time to join. Your membership supports our mission of educating and equipping citizen leaders—and we'll send the latest issue of Grassroots Quarterly directly to your mailbox.

This is also a big week for training!

On Thursday, July 23, we're honored to welcome Attorney David Shestokas and Robert Fioretti as they kick off our new Constitution Series. Together, they'll explore the constitutional role and responsibilities of the Illinois Attorney General, launching what we hope will become one of Grassroots Academy's signature educational programs.

We'll also be on the road this week in Coles County, presenting our GOP Overview training and continuing our mission of helping local organizations build stronger, more informed leadership teams.

Grassroots Academy is growing rapidly, and this is only the beginning. In the coming months we'll introduce structured learning pathways, student certifications, Patriot Points, internships, and many more opportunities to learn, serve, and lead.

If you've been thinking about becoming a member of Illinois Freedom Alliance, there's never been a better time. Join us, receive your complimentary copy of Grassroots Quarterly, and become part of a growing community committed to strengthening organizations, empowering citizens, and building stronger communities.

I hope to see you in class this week!

Together we can make a difference.
