We want to provide challengers to entrenched incumbents in our area the opportunity to meet our members in a relaxed, meet and greet environment. For this get-together Indivisible Lincoln Square has invited challengers in the following races:
Illinois 5th Congressional District: incumbent Mike Quigley will have 4 opponents. Only one of the 4, Matt Conroy, accepted our invitation.
Cook County Commission District 10: Bridget Gainer is facing only 1 opponent, Drake Warren, who will be attending.

From Indivisible (national)
Would-be authoritarians love to flood the zone. Flooding the zone is a tactic used to move an aggressive agenda forward in so many directions, at the same time, that it becomes overwhelming. We are forced to fight back on too many horrific fronts, exhausting our spirits and making it impossible to focus.
It is important to understand that we are currently experiencing this tactic so that we can counteract its impacts.
At this call, we’ll learn how to regulate in real time while acknowledging that our responses are predictable and normal in the face of unyielding stress and trauma. You’ll leave with practical tools and strategies to help you stabilize and move through the stress from Nkem Ndefo.

Join ILS as we share how we can join with others to chip away at common societal “pillars” that support Trump (business, labor, faith, education, civil service, military/police), with the goal to pressure those pillars until that support breaks down.
A presentation on the pillars will be followed by talking with like-minded folk to see where our pillar-toppling power lies.
