ICA Partner Action: Building Power in Illinois & Chicago Panel 7/15
Join Indivisible Downtown Chicago for the first event in our Change Starts Here Speaker Series, focused on how Illinois and Chicago leaders are protecting rights and expanding justice across our communities. We'll explore how reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ protections, immigrant rights, and more are being defended and advanced through legislation, advocacy, and grassroots action.
Featured speakers include: Chicago City Clerk Anna Valencia, Illinois State Senator Lakesia Collins, Robin Dusek, Policy Director at She Votes IL, and Skye Perryman, CEO of Democracy Forward.
They’ll share real wins, challenges, and insights into how state and local policies intersect—and how you can help drive change. You'll leave with specific, actionable steps to get involved—from contacting legislators to organizing in your own neighborhood.
Whether you're new to local politics or a seasoned advocate, this event is designed to inform, energize, and connect people ready to build power for justice in Illinois and Chicago.
👉 Join the panel on Tuesday, July 15 at 7 p.m. at Grace Place (637 S Dearborn St.)

Partner Action: Tell Senators to Delay and Disrupt the Republican Tax Scam
Republicans are racing to pass their tax scam bill that includes massive cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs, but they’re still fighting internally about the content of the bill: some are hesitant about making such big cuts to Medicaid, some want even deeper cuts. And that’s left Republican leaders Johnson and Thune scrambling to balance the demands from all the different sides of their caucus.
So the more drawn out and painful that Democrats can make the fight, the less likely they’ll be able to actually pass a bill. And Democrats will have the opportunity to do so, including during vote-a-rama when they can introduce endless amendments to postpone the Senate vote on passage of the bill.
👉 Call your Senators now and ask them to do everything in their power to delay and disrupt the budget reconciliation process. Remind them that they can still take action now to defeat the tax scam bill.

Partner Action: Takedown Day of Action 6/28
Join us on Elon Musk's birthday for a protest at the Tesla dealership. We'll have cybertruck piñatas and more as we voice our opposition.
Despite stepping down from government, Musk still wields significant influence: his data practices support deportation, his cryptocurrency DOGE remains loyal to him, and his ownership of X allows him to spread propaganda globally. His wealth continues to fund harmful ideologies, including white supremacy and transphobia.
We urge people to sell their Teslas and stock, and join the effort to drive down Tesla’s stock price to curb Musk’s power.
👉 Join the Tesla Takedown Chicago National Day of Action on Saturday, June 28, 2025•12:00 PM at the Gold Coast Tesla Dealership (901 N Rush St).
