Indivisible Lincoln Square is proud to announce that our steering committee has unanimously endorsed the Fossil Fuel Divestment Act currently under consideration in Springfield.

This legislation would require the state to divest public funds from fossil fuel companies and reinvest in clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, and community-centered climate solutions.

Indivisible Lincoln Square activists were among the thousands of demonstrators who packed Grant Park’s Butler Field and marched a mile through the Loop on March 28 as part of the nationwide “No Kings” day of action opposing President Donald Trump’s administration.

Organizers led by Indivisible and a broad coalition staged family-friendly rallies across the Chicago area while speakers and signs demanded defense of democratic norms, an end to wars, and policies such as abolishing ICE.

Safety from toxic chemical emergencies is a core need for all families. But critical safeguards are under attack from the Trump administration.

Urge the EPA to protect communities from preventable tragedies, not to take away critical safeguards from families nationwide.  

Here’s how to make your voice heard.

All hands on deck!

Here’s hoping the opposition will be seeing red at anti-authoritarian protests around the country. Knitters throughout the U.S. and beyond have hopped on the bandwagon to create red “Melt the Ice” hats in a sign of protest against ICE immigration raids. Proceeds are directed toward aiding immigrants.

How to help

Knitters can buy the pattern on the Ravelry knitting community site.

Local knit shop Knit 1, 3856 N. Lincoln, is collecting red hats for distribution through the end of February.

Indivisible Lincoln Square on Jan. 27 joined a statewide coalition of organizations urging Gov. JB Pritzker to oppose the Trump Administration’s plan for a new federal school voucher program.

The coalition of 46 community, civil rights, good government, labor and faith-based organizations opposes the new federal legislation on the grounds that it diverts private dollars to public schools.

The federal voucher program, part of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” “will do grave harm to the public good, in particular Illinois’ public schools, which serve nine out of ten of the children in our state,” attests the group, in its public letter to the governor.
