WAVE is a print-only publication bringing together Chicagoland progressives.

Who We Are

Rooted in local issues and bold ideas, WAVE aims to slow the conversation down. Our pages amplify emerging voices, challenge the status quo, and explore politics as it’s lived—on our streets, campuses, and communities.
