ICA Partner Action: Show Up Chicago 4/27
Presented monthly by the Blue Beginning chapter of Indivisible Chicago, Show Up Chicago is a combination community gathering, cocktail hour, and political panel show at Chicago's most highly evolved saloon. It's a great chance to mingle with like-minded neighbors, hear the latest from political insiders, and gossip about the issues we all care about.
Our topic this month will be The New New Journalism: As legacy media outlets crumble (and capitulate), we're getting more and more of our news from independent DIY reporters working through platforms like Substack, TikTok, YouTube, etc. As news consumers, who do we trust? How do we verify? What are the implications for the all-important midterm elections coming in November?
Our guests will be former Tribune editor Mark Jacob, now proprietor of the Substack media newsletter Stop the Presses, and Steve Held, cofounder of the independent news site Unraveled.
👉 Join the event on Monday, April 27 from 7 – 8:30pm at The Hideout (1354 W Wabansia Ave). Doors and bar open at 6, program 7-8:30. Free and open to all, but please RSVP.
ICA and Partner Action: No to ICE Profiteers 5/1
This May Day, we are standing together to send a clear message to Highlands REIT: our communities are not for sale to ICE profiteers.
Highlands REIT is currently leasing a former prison in Colorado to ICE and the Geo Group for use as a new detention center. We believe in dignity for our neighbors, not profiting from their confinement.
Please join Arise Chicago, Indivisible Chicago, and Evanston Interfaith Clergy and Leaders for a powerful rally at the Highlands REIT corporate headquarters. Let’s make our voices heard and demand an end to the monetization of detention.
When: May 1st at 10:00 am
Where: 1 S. Dearborn, Chicago
