ICA Partner Action: Chicago May Day Actions 5/1
With just a few days until May Day, a broad coalition of organizations across Chicago is mobilizing for a week of action focused on workers’ rights, immigrant justice, and defending the rule of law. This is a coordinated call to show up across multiple actions on May 1 as communities push back against attacks on labor, immigration, and democratic institutions.
We are standing in solidarity with workers and immigrants, and demanding an end to policies that prioritize corporate profit over people. From economic justice to legal accountability, May Day is a day to take collective action across movements.
Join the Indivisible Chicago Alliance in showing up for the following actions:
👉 Chicago May Day Rally & March: Friday, May 1 at 1:00 PM
📍 Union Park (1501 W Randolph St)
A citywide rally and march bringing together workers, immigrants, and community members to demand economic justice and dignity for all.
👉 No to ICE Profiteers Rally: Friday, May 1 at 10:00 AM
📍 Highlands REIT Headquarters, 1 S. Dearborn
Join ARISE Chicago, Indivisible Chicago, and Evanston Interfaith Clergy and Leaders for a rally calling out corporate profiteering from immigration detention and demanding an end to the monetization of incarceration.
👉 Chicago Stands for the Rule of Law: Friday, May 1 at 11:30 AM
📍 Federal Plaza (210 S Dearborn St)
Join Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, Indivisible Chicago, law professionals, and community members to reaffirm the rule of law, including oath re-administration and public commitment to justice and democracy.

Indivisible Action: Oppose Warrantless AI Mass Surveillance
The War on Terror-era legislation that authorized decades of civil liberties-eroding mass surveillance is set to expire. Congress needs to overhaul the bill to protect our privacy, or allow it to die.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorist measure, but has a long history of abuse from the federal government, especially when it comes to surveillance. This even more dangerous knowing that Stephen Miller wants to deploy AI to supercharge FISA surveillance.
Your Senator has a choice to make: Will they greenlight warrantless mass surveillance, supercharged by AI, or hold the line and reject any effort to move forward without serious privacy guardrails. FISA as it is currently written:
Allows warrantless backdoor surveillance of people in and out of the country
Offers little to no protections against the administration targeting critics, activists, religious minorities, or communities of color
Actively chills our freedoms of speech and association
Two years ago, this reauthorization legislation sailed through Congress with bipartisan support. That can’t happen again.
