Our pro-democracy movement is surging. Now it’s up to each of us to channel this incredible energy into the organizing power it will take to win. 

Protests serve many purposes -- they change the narrative, they grow our movement, they show people reeling under the weight of the regime’s atrocities that they are not alone.

But a single day of protest -- even the largest single-day protest we’ve seen in our lifetimes -- will not overcome the fascist onslaught we face.

It’s going to take ongoing, strategic organizing -- exactly the kind of organizing Indivisible was created to foster -- to deliver us from tyranny.

That’s what Tuesday’s mass all is going to be about. You won’t want to miss it.

Here in Chicago we know how to rise up, fight back, and support each other. It is more important than ever that we do that together on October 18th as we show the nation and the world that Chicago is united in opposing these illegal and unnecessary attacks against our neighbors, our communities, and our democracy. Our actions and resistance are necessary as Trump sends militarized agents into our communities, silences voters and voices, and hands billionaires giveaways while families struggle. This isn’t just politics. It’s democracy versus dictatorship. We won’t accept a wannabe king, and we won’t back down in the face of chaos, corruption, and cruelty. Join us in Chicago on October 18th as we join millions of people across the country in a national day of action to declare: Hands Off Chicago and No Kings! 

This event is being organized by the Hands Off Chicago Coalition (Chicago Federation of Labor, Equality Illinois, Indivisible Chicago, Personal PAC, Sierra Club Illinois); ACLU of Illinois; and a growing number of partner organizations.

Trump is threatening to order National Guard troops to invade Chicago. Noem is sending more ICE resources here for immigration crackdowns. We’re living under an autocratic administration and we have to defend ourselves. Mayor Johnson is on our side: "We're going to defend our democracy in the city of Chicago. We're going to protect the humanity of every single person in the city of Chicago." This could—emphasize could—involve peaceful direct action.
 
So it’s good to be prepared for the worst (even as we continue to hope for the best). One way to prepare is to get “Know Your Rights” (KYR) training. KYR training will cover the basics of what to do during an encounter with authorities, with an overview of the charges/penalties associated with protesting, and things to consider when planning civil disobedience. The training will be conducted by Madeline Townsend, National Lawyers Guild of Chicago’s Mass Defense Committee.

Help save democracy by writing postcards to voters in Virginia to get out the vote in the November election. We will provide the postcards, the addresses, and the script. You provide the stamps for the postcards you write or donate!

This summer, in a rare display of unanimity, Chicago’s City Council made it much easier for developers to construct new housing, by eliminating parking-space minimums for many new projects built close to public transportation. The easy vote graphically demonstrated the extent of Chicago’s housing shortage and the imaginative attempts being made to solve it—which will be our topics at the September Show Up Chicago.

Our guest speakers will be Alder Andre Vasquez, a council leader on housing issues, and Richard Day, who writes on housing and infrastructure issues for the must-read Substack newsletter A City That Works.
