No Trump! No Troops Protest!
Please join us on Saturday, September 6, at 5pm at Ida B Wells and Michigan for a protest to say we reject the attacks against our communities! NO TRUMP, NO TROOPS!
Over the last few months, we’ve seen an increase in immigration enforcement activity across the country, all backed by the Trump administration in an effort to advance an authoritarian agenda. While we prepare to face Trump’s aggression and protect our communities through the deployment of rapid response teams and know your rights public education, we have ALREADY seen further escalation in our region this week. These escalations are forms of psychological trauma and one of the many attacks on Chicago and Illinois that come out of the Trump White House every single day. Taken together, these tactics are tantamount to an escalation that deserves a response.
This moment is also bringing together a cross-section of communities pushing back against Trump’s anti-immigrant, anti-working class agenda. That’s why we and other movement partners will be mobilizing our communities to reject the militarization of our streets, city, and state! Join us on Saturday, September 6th, at 5pm at Ida B Wells and Michigan for a protest to say we reject the attacks against our communities! NO TRUMP, NO TROOPS!
