Action 1: Join Jewish Voice for Peace to Call for Ceasefire
We grieve the over 1,400 Israeli and international lives lost in Hamas’ attack on October 7 and call for all hostages to be released immediately.
We are deeply alarmed by developments in the Israeli military’s campaign in Gaza and the West Bank. Every human, no matter where they’re born, deserves to grow up in safety and freedom.
Food, water, medicine, and fuel remain heavily restricted by the Israeli siege -- inflicting collective punishment and immense suffering on the people of Gaza for the actions of Hamas.
Humanitarian organizations like MSF, Oxfam, and Save the Children, and human rights groups like Amnesty International are calling for a ceasefire and deescalation -- to save lives in Gaza, for the hostages to be released, to ensure that Gazan civilians can access desperately needed humanitarian aid, and to avert regional escalation.
Standing Indivisible means condemning antisemitism in all its forms. It means condemning Islamophobia in all its forms. It means seeking to build bridges across our communities, standing in solidarity with each other, and recognizing that we all want the same things: safety, dignity, and for our kids to thrive.
We recognize that this moment is intensely personal and painful for many people across the world and in our network. We come back to our core principle: Human life is precious, and we must do all we can to protect it.

Action 2: One Year to Win Kenosha Canvass Saturday
We did it before. We can do it again! Join us canvassing newly engaged voters in Kenosha.
A handful of votes in each community made the difference in Wisconsin’s election outcomes from 2016 to 2020. Kenosha County could be considered THE swing county in THE swing state. Going Blue for Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz signaled that Kenosha County has a growing number of Democratic voters, reversing the trends of the previous decade. Our partners at Wisconsin/Kenosha Dems are developing new Neighborhood Teams to find and establish relationships with thousands of these newly engaged voters. This work could have a big impact for 2024 and election cycles to come.
That's where we come in! Join our Indivisible Chicago Alliance One Year to Win Canvass on this November 4 when we will be combining our efforts with "KTown North" neighborhood team to talk with voters about the issues that concern them.
We’ll start at 9 am with orientation by Kenosha leaders, then canvass in teams. At noon we'll all get together for a chili lunch to share our experiences and learn best practices from each other; before going home.
Join us! Sign up here by TODAY, Oct. 31. Need a ride? We will try to arrange car pools. New to canvassing? No worries–we’ll train you and pair you with an experienced partner.
While some of these Daily Actions come from our own work as Indivisible Chicago Alliance, others are from our many partners working to advance the progressive agenda. We invite you to join us in supporting their work. Postings from partners do not imply Indivisible Chicago Alliance endorsement of specific policies and positions.
