SUMMARY:Stand With Texas Rally
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe 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. \nCome 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! \nNOTE: 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. \nSign up today to join us!

SUMMARY:Postcards for Democracy: Voter Postcard Writing Party
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a summer gathering at Iron&Glass in Romeovile the evening of August 19th to take action and protect our communities!\n\n\n\nWe’re coming together to connect with neighbors and take a stand against the Republican-led budget cuts that are threatening health care\, food assistance\, and other essential programs. While the wealthy get more tax breaks\, the rest of us are left with higher costs and fewer resources—and most people haven’t even heard about it.\n\n\n\nAt this event\, we’ll write handwritten messages to voters in key Republican districts to help raise awareness and inspire action before the 2026 election. These voters are directly impacted by these cuts—and they could be the key to stopping Trump’s MAGA movement from gaining more ground.\n\n\n\nCome enjoy some summer fun\, meet like-minded folks\, and make a real impact.
