Partner Action: Swing Left Phone Banks
People across the country, in both blue and red states, came together this weekend to show fierce grassroots resistance to defend democracy, rights, and freedoms. These powerful protests are part of a broader effort to stop Trump and fight authoritarianism. Winning elections and removing Trump and his Republican allies from office is crucial.

Additionally, consider calling voters in California about Proposition 50, a measure that could temporarily redraw the congressional map. Its passage might help Democrats gain a fair shot at flipping the House.

Partner Action: Support ICIRR's Policy Platform
We are currently in a moment unlike any other. Over the last few weeks, the Trump administration has been intentionally targeting the state of Illinois, using ICE agents to spread their repressive anti-immigrant agenda.
This increase in immigration enforcement activity has not made anyone safer, as agents have been escalating their violent tactics in an effort to harm as many people as they can, regardless of immigration status. We must call this what it is - state sanctioned violence.
Our lawmakers have a specific role to play in this fight against ICE’s terror. That’s why ICIRR is announcing its platform called S.A.L.T: Safety and Action for Liberation Together.
S.A.L.T includes a series of bills we’re asking our lawmakers to support, which would:
Bar civil arrests by ICE and other law enforcement agencies at our state’s courthouses
Provide guidance for all hospitals in Illinois to protect patients and their staff from potential law enforcement activity, including ICE actions while inside their hospital buildings
Close loopholes in our state’s TRUST Act that ICE could otherwise take advantage of
Expand the protections provided in the Safe Schools law to early childhood and higher education spaces
We are asking members of the General Assembly to support our S.A.L.T platform and keep our communities safe from immigration enforcement!
