Mother Jones Chicago Statue Campaign
Chicago needs a statue to this immigrant woman labor organizer!
There are now just a few statues of women historical figures in the city of Chicago. None are of working class women. Let's put this iconic Irish immigrant refugee and founder of the American labor movement--the Mother of the working class--on a statue in the city she called home. Imagine presenting a strong, courageous, bold women in Chicago. She deserves it. We deserve it.
We Are proud to announce that the Chicago statue will be at the historic Water Tower. Read more about it here: https://www.motherjonesmuseum.org/statue
The government of Ireland seeded this project with $36,000 grant. We need to raise a total of $200,000. We have 75,000+ left to raise. The totals will be updated on this site and on our website. Please give generously. All donations are tax-deductible. We are a 501-c-3.
