Tuesday, October 7 - Government Shutdown Emergency Rally TOMORROW / Know Your Rights / What’s the Plan? 10/10
Partner Action: TOMORROW - Government Shutdown Emergency Action
Stand with us and other federal workers unions for an emergency government shutdown rally!
The Trump administration has unleashed attack after attack on our union rights—and now they’re threatening to use their government shutdown as a chance to do mass layoffs at EPA.
We want to do our jobs protecting human health and the environment for ALL Americans. They want us to protect big polluters.
👉 Join the rally TOMORROW, Wednesday, October 8 at noon at Federal Plaza.
Action via AFGE 704
ICA Parter Action: Support Know Your Rights Efforts
This past week, we have seen Federal ICE agents sweeping through neighborhoods across the Chicagoland area, kidnapping people off the street and detaining folks - including children - first and asking questions later. Now the Trump regime has moved to deploy the National Guard in Illinois, authorizing federal troops in another overreach to create chaos and fear.
These anti-democratic acts continue to escalate and there is no end in sight. Trump will not stop unless we, the people, make him stop. We have to reject facism and fight for the country that we want. This is why we are coming together in Grant Park on October 18th for the Hands Off Chicago / No Kings! rally and march, as part of a national day of action.
It is frustratingly difficult to fight back against ICE. They are relentless and ruthless.
👉 But here are some actions you can take now to help.
Join a Know Your Rights training through the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights or The Resurrection Project.
