Residents of Libertyville are coming together to call for accountability, clear standards of conduct, and leadership that reflects and respects our community.

Two letters are currently being submitted to Village leadership:

• A letter from the Women of Libertyville, expressing concern about misogynistic language used by an appointed official and calling for moral leadership, accountability, and policy reform.
• A letter from Residents of Libertyville, raising broader concerns about governance standards, representation, and public trust.

Why this matters
Recently, a public comment made on social media by an appointed commissioner raised serious concerns about professionalism, respect, and accountability within Village government. Beyond a single incident, this moment has highlighted larger, long-standing issues:

• The absence of a clearly articulated code of conduct for elected and appointed Village officials, particularly regarding social media and public communications.
• A lack of consistent, transparent accountability when standards are violated.
• Ongoing concerns about representation, including the meaningful inclusion of women on Village boards and commissions.

For many residents, this represents a tipping point and an opportunity to ask for clearer expectations, better governance practices, and leadership that reflects the values and diversity of Libertyville today.

What the letters call for
By signing, you are supporting requests for:

• Appropriate accountability measures in response to the recent incident.
• The adoption of a formal code of conduct for all Village officials and commissioners.
• The development of policies or ordinances to ensure minimum gender representation on Village boards and commissions.
• Transparent communication from Village leadership, including a plan of action and timeline.

How to participate
Sign this petition showing your support for the following letters:

• The letter from the Women of Libertyville expressing solidarity with women calling for respectful leadership, accountability, and additional governance standards.
• The letter from Residents of Libertyville requesting broader civic accountability and policy reform.

This effort is not about politics or partisanship. It is about standards, accountability, and ensuring Libertyville remains a community where all residents are treated with respect and have a voice in local governance.

Please review the letters, sign this petition, and share this petition with others who care about the future of Libertyville.
