30,000 Of Us Flooded Daley Plaza for Hands Off Rally
The Hands Off message was both broad and simple: we told the Trump administration to keep their hands off the people, programs, places, planet, rights, and freedoms that we hold dear, and we call on our elected leaders and everyday people to act.
Use Your Voice and Your Vote
Use Your Voice and Your Vote
Over 100 people packed the town hall with US Congressman Mike Quigley Thursday night. Just as he is using his voice and his vote to oppose the Trump regime, he urged the audience to do the same.
Our actions are having an effect both on encouraging our elected officials to resist; and, on bolstering the efforts of people who are already resisting.

Take Action to Protect the Department of Education

Our Representatives Need to Hear From Us
Whether we agree with their positions or don’t agree, our representatives need to hear from us.
Be sure to tell Senator Duckworth and Congressman Mike Quigley that you appreciate their no vote on the CR.
Unfortunately, Senato Durbin voted with 10 other Democrats to approve the CR.
Wisconsin In Person, Early Voting Has Started
You probably know that balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Courtis at risk. This election pits Susan Crawford, a current Wisconsin circuit court judge endorsed by all current liberal judges on the court, against Brad Shimel, a Musk-backed Republican who is currently a sitting judge. If Crawford wins, liberals will lock in their majority for at least three more years. We helped elect Janet Protasiewicz and let’s do the same for Susan Crawford.
