The Illinois Freedom Caucus is holding a Sept. 29 “Special Evening” featuring Keynote Speaker Dinesh D’Souza.
The event will be held at the Thelma Keller Convention Center in Effingham.
D’Souza’s distinguished career includes serving as a domestic policy analyst at the Reagan White House and his involvement with several influential think tanks. He has authored nearly 20 books and produced six documentaries, along with a feature film. His collaboration with his wife, Debbie, on a daily podcast that debuted in January 2021 further solidified his presence in the media landscape.
In spring 2022, D’Souza, along with True the Vote, released the documentary “2000 Mules,” which delved into the controversial aspects of the 2020 election. In fall 2023, he is slated to release another timely documentary, “Police State.”
Tickets for the event are available on EventBrite.
The evening will begin with a Private Donor Dinner with Dinesh and Legislators from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM, exclusively available to donors who have contributed $1000 per person or $1500 per couple, with limited spots for 11 couples.
Following that, from 5-6 PM, the VIP Room will be open for a reception, a part of the VIP ticket package, allowing attendees to connect with legislators, and special guests, and offering first access to the photo line.
Hors d’oeuvres will be served during this period, and tickets for the VIP reception are limited.
The main event commences at 5:00 PM when the event doors open, providing an opportunity for attendees to refresh themselves, explore the cash drink/snack bar, and find their seats. From 5:15 PM to 6:00 PM, a Photo Line with Dinesh will be open exclusively for those who have purchased VIP tickets.
The highlight of the evening unfolds from 6:05-8:00 PM in the main hall, with a diverse program featuring speeches and insights from members of the Illinois Freedom Caucus, the State Freedom Caucus Network, Congress, and other special guests.
On his Facebook page, D’Souza describes himself as “an author, filmmaker, speaker, and host of the Dinesh D’Souza Podcast.”
