What is Wildfire?
A technology-powered civic movement designed to give Chicago residents a real voice in their city's future.
Our Mission
Chicago residents are frustrated. They're paying high taxes but seeing little return. They're worried about crime in their neighborhoods. They feel disconnected from leaders who recycle the same policies and rhetoric year after year.
Wildfire exists to change that.
We're building a movement that uses technology and direct public engagement to cultivate real political momentum. Not through backroom deals or establishment networking, but through transparency, accountability, and the collective voice of engaged citizens.
Core Principles
Radical Transparency
Every poll result, every policy position, every decision—it's all public. No backroom deals. No hidden agendas.
Democratic Input
Members shape the movement's priorities through regular polls and surveys. The platform reflects what the community actually wants.
Inclusive Engagement
Current leaders are invited to participate. This isn't about tearing down—it's about building something better together.
Accountability First
Leaders who join engage publicly. Their responses are visible. Silence speaks volumes.
What We're Not
- We're not a secret cabal. Everything we do is out in the open. Current leaders are invited to participate.
- We're not partisan. Good ideas can come from anywhere. We focus on outcomes, not labels.
- We're not just another protest movement. We're building institutional capacity—the infrastructure to actually govern, not just complain.
- We're not about any one person. This is a collective movement. Leadership emerges from the community.
