Illinois Pirate Party

The Illinois Pirate Party is part of a global movement advocating for the fundamental rights and freedoms of the digital age. In an era where our lives are increasingly mediated by technology, the Pirate Party platform focuses on issues that are often overlooked by traditional politics. Our core principles include upholding civil liberties, reforming copyright and patent laws to promote innovation and culture, ensuring government transparency, and protecting digital privacy for all citizens.

We believe that access to information is a human right and that policy should reflect the realities of the 21st century. The party is not about nautical marauders, but about championing the rights of individuals against corporate and government overreach. This page serves as an introduction to our goals, our platform, and how you can get involved in building a more open, transparent, and free society right here in Illinois.
