Who We Are
Illinois Citizens for Life are a group of dedicated individuals devoted to preserving life at all ages. The group consists mostly of volunteers with a small staff and includes doctors, educators, nurses, clergy, professionals in all walks of life, and others who are actively engaged in the defense of life. If you support our cause, please join us.
Illinois Citizens for Life is an educational and informational arm of the pro-life movement funded entirely by individual donations and fundraising events. Founded in 1973, ICL is a non-partisan, non-denominational, grassroots organization working to inform Illinoisans on all pro-life issues and to influence legislation.
