HANDS OFF CHICAGO is a grassroots effort to oppose the National Guard, ICE raids and other military action in Chicago. The group offers tips and resources for citizens to help protect their neighbors when military activity occurs.
Resources for ICE actions and immigration issues:
• Save the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights (ICIRR) hotline to report suspected ICE sightings into your phone: 855-435-7693. Speed is important in these moments to help protect people, and this way you won't have to go googling for it in real time.
• If you know anyone who needs immigration legal or community support, they can complete this form or call the hotline: 855-435-7693
• Sign up for Eyes On ICE text alerts, which will notify subscribers by zip code in the event of confirmed ICE presence in your neighborhood.
• If you know anyone who needs immigration legal or community support, they can complete this form or call the hotline: 855-435-7693

No Troops or Ice in Chicago

Help spread the word that Chicago does not want nor need federal troops or ice.

Print you own sign and place in you window or on your balconey

Use the HANDS OFF CHICAGO logo as your social media profile picture.

Silence is compliance, so we need to get LOUD. Every night the military is in Chicago, residents are encouraged to go outside at 7:00PM and bang pots and pans, sing, chant, or make noise for five minutes.
When neighbors ask what’s going on, talk with them about what’s happening.

No Kings Day October 18, 2025

Date: October 18, 2025
Time: 12 noon-3:00 pm
Location: Daley Plaza, 50 W Washington St., Chicago

Our peaceful movement is only getting bigger and stronger. “NO KINGS” is more than just a slogan—it’s the foundation our nation was built upon. Born in the streets, carried by millions in chants and on posters, it echoes from city blocks to rural town squares, uniting people across this country to fight dictatorship together.

The president thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings, and we won’t back down against chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Grow our movement and join us.

 A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage
Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage

Donald Trump and Dr. Mehmet Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -- with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying people’s coverage.

Next year, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) will begin a pilot program in six states that uses AI to determine whether Medicare recipients receive the care their doctors say that they need. The plan was announced late last month by Dr. Oz, Trump’s appointee as CMS administrator, and has received sharp criticism from House Democrats and the medical community.[CD1] 

This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis, thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. None of this “cost-saving” would be necessary if Trump and the GOP weren't driving up healthcare costs and starving our healthcare system of funds.

Email Congress NOW: Demand that they stop AI-powered healthcare denials and use the upcoming funding deadline to restore healthcare.  You can use this Indivisible (national) portal to write your representative.

No Kings Day October 18, 2025

In June, we mobilized millions of people to take to the streets and declare with one voice: America has no kings. Protests took place in all 50 states and throughout the world. 

Since then, we’ve seen more and more political leaders and institutions choosing to resist the regime rather than play dead.

But we knew June 14 was just the start.

Trump is ramping up his attacks on our rights and democracy,
