ICA Action: Volunteers Needed for Hands Off! Rally Saturday
April 5 is almost here, and we need your help to make it a historic day of protest against Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and their harmful agenda! Join us in standing together with the Chicago Federation of Labor, Equality Illinois, Indivisible Chicago, and many more as part of the national Hands Off Day of Action.
This is our chance to demonstrate that everyday people will not be intimidated by authoritarianism. We will see massive, peaceful marches not just in city centers but also at over 1,000 local events across the country!
We need volunteers to help make this event a success. Your involvement is crucial in mobilizing our community and showcasing the strength of our collective voice. Together, let’s show Trump and Musk that we’re rising up for democracy, our rights, and our future. Join us and help ensure that our message is loud and clear: HANDS OFF!
👉 Sign up to volunteer to help us make Saturday's event a success!
Even if you can't volunteer, we hope you'll still join us for the nationwide day of action on Saturday, April 5.
Let’s unite to send a strong message: we will not let our democracy be dismantled. Your voice matters—join us!
ICA Action: No Cuts to Medicaid Phone Bank TOMORROW
At the end of February, the GOP-controlled House voted for a Budget Resolution that proposes cutting $880 billion, primarily targeting Medicaid, which provides healthcare to over 72 million Americans. In Illinois, this affects nearly half our children, two-thirds of seniors in nursing homes, and 40% of all pregnancies.
The MAGA agenda seeks to slash these essential services, like Medicaid and SNAP, to fund tax giveaways for the ultra-wealthy, despite the failure of "trickle-down" economics.
This budget isn’t finalized yet! We’re calling constituents in Congressman Bost’s District IL-12 to oppose cuts to Medicaid, which supports almost 200,000 seniors, children, and low-wage workers.
👉 Join our Indivisible phone bank to help spread the word every Wednesday in April. We’ll provide facts on Medicaid and train you on phone banking.
