Wednesday, October 8 - Emergency Protest TODAY / Tell Dems to Keep Holding the Line / IL Candidate Forums
Partner Action: TODAY - Emergency Anti-ICE Protest
CHICAGO: When our communities are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP, FIGHT BACK!
As the National Guard makes its way to Chicagoland to occupy our city, we stand united to say HELL NO! We will FIGHT BACK against Trump’s racist and white supremacist attacks on our communities.
The Guard is coming to support ICE as they continue to wreak havoc and terrorize our neighborhoods because our communities are organized and resisting — and that’s exactly why we must show up in massive numbers to make it clear: they will never break us down!
👉 Join the event TODAY, Wednesday, October 8 at 5:30 PM at Ida B. Wells & Michigan Ave.
NOTE: As the Trump regime continues to escalate its reckless and dangerous actions, be mindful of your own safety and capacity to take on heightened risks. Refer to these safety guidelines and tips for protests and actions.

👉 Here’s how you can make your voice heard right now:
Call our Democratic senators. Urge them to keep holding the line against Trump attacks and Republican games.
Send your Senators an email encouraging them to hold strong in the fight.
