The outrageous Texas power grab by Donald Trump and his fellow thugs is a political emergency with national implications. Through their brazen attempt to gerrymander 5 Congressional seats into the Republican column, they are undermining fair elections, silencing voters of color, and attacking our country's democratic foundations.
We need action everywhere because this will not stop in Texas. Illinois was one of the first states to stand up, showing that we are going to defend the vote, protect our rights, and oppose this anti-democratic power grab.
Come join us in downtown Chicago when we raise our voices with defenders of Democracy in cities across the nation on August 16 at 11:00 a.m. Sign up today and spread the word!
NOTE: A core principle behind this action 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.
