<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2><p><strong>Run does not process donations directly on our platform,</strong> as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. </p><p><strong>Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea.</strong><br></p><p>Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>ActBlue</strong></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>Campaign Deputy</strong></a><strong><br></strong></p></li><li><p><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>GoodChange</strong></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><strong>Numero</strong></a></p></li></ul><p></p>

<h2>Who I Am &amp; Why I'm Running!</h2><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">My name is Yumeka Brown, and I’m running to represent Illinois’ 2nd Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.</span></p><p>I didn’t come from privilege, I came from purpose. I was born and raised right here in this district. I’ve lived the struggles so many of us face, navigating a broken healthcare system, and watching too many families in our communities be left behind by policies that simply don’t reflect our realities. I grew up witnessing the devastating impact of the war on drugs and the cycle of violence it created, tearing apart families, over-policing our neighborhoods, and criminalizing poverty instead of addressing its root causes.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">I’ve served as a local elected official, as Village Clerk in Matteson, and as a Commissioner with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, where I’ve worked to protect our water, improve infrastructure, and fight for transparency and accountability in government. I’ve built coalitions and pushed for equitable investment in neighborhoods long ignored. But I’ve also listened. Deeply. To residents, parents, teachers, seniors, entrepreneurs—people with powerful stories, often unheard by those in power.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">This campaign is about bringing those voices to the front.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">I’m running for Congress because I believe in environmental justice, clean water and safe streets, affordable healthcare, jobs that pay a living wage, and strong public schools that prepare our kids for the future. I’m running because I know how it feels to sit across from a doctor, terrified about whether your child will get the care they need. Because I’ve had to juggle being a wife, mom, a public servant, and a working woman—often all in the exact moment. Because I’ve seen what happens when policy forgets the people it's supposed to serve.</span></p><p>I’m not here to play games but to make real change.</p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">This district deserves a representative who understands what’s at stake, who will fight for working families, protect our rights, and bring real results home. I’m not backed by corporate interests—the people back me.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">This is bigger than one campaign. It’s a movement for equity, justice, progress—and it starts right here, with us.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">Let’s build the future we deserve—together.</span></p><p><span style="color: var(--color-text)">Yumeka Brown</span><br><span style="color: var(--color-text)">Candidate for U.S. Congress, IL-02</span></p>
