After years of grassroots work, late nights, early mornings, and deep conversations with community members who deserve more — I’m proud to officially launch JakePartee.com.
This isn’t just a website. It’s a living reflection of the mission I’ve dedicated my life to: fighting for justice, building informed communities, and ensuring that no voice goes unheard.
Why This Site Exists
This platform was created to serve as a central hub for everything I’m building through:
Speak Out Illinois LLC – where I serve as CEO and Co-Owner, working to amplify stories of injustice, organize grassroots campaigns, and push for legal reform across the state.
Central Illinois Resource Center Inc. – a nonprofit I founded and now lead as Board President, dedicated to mental health awareness, food and housing insecurity, and direct aid for those most often left behind.
From organizing neighborhood education events to navigating the courtroom as a pro se plaintiff, I’ve learned that change doesn’t come from the sidelines. It comes from standing up — loud, clear, and unapologetically.
What You’ll Find Here
Whether you're looking to support the movement, collaborate on community solutions, or just want to learn how to be more civically engaged — this is where you start.
The Work Ahead
Illinois — and the nation — is at a crossroads. And while the challenges are real, so is the momentum. We have an opportunity to build something that doesn’t just treat symptoms, but addresses root causes. That’s the work. That’s the vision.
Stay informed. Stay active. Stay loud.
