The Knights of Columbus, a large Catholic fraternal organization founded in 188, with approximately 500 local councils in Illinois, are known for their great pro-life work and support for traditional marriage. In 1974, Knights helped organize the first March for Life in Washington, D.C. Today, they work to purchase ultrasound machines to donate them to qualifying pregnancy centers.

That is why we were shocked to learn that the Illinois State Council has scheduled to hold their annual State Council Convention in May at the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg. Maybe the planning team wasn't aware that the Hyatt Hotel Corporation is owned and operated in part by Illinois Governor, JB Pritzker and other far left members of his family. As a politician, he developed a reputation for pursuing left wing policies in support of a radical abortion and LGBTQ+ agenda among other issues.

Take ACTION: Please send a message to the good folks at the Illinois Knights of Columbus to respectfully urge them to reconsider their choice of venue.
