IWLC will be supporting & cosponsoring the 10/18 No Kings Protest with NE Lake County Indivisible. Marshal volunteers are encouraged to arrive at 9am.
Sign making event on 10/14 at the Lake Villa District Library
In June, we did what many claimed was impossible: peacefully mobilized millions of people to take to the streets and declare with one voice: America has No Kings. And it mattered. The world saw the power of the people. President Trump’s birthday parade was drowned out by protests in every state and across the globe. His attempt to turn June 14 into a coronation failed, and the story became a rallying point for a movement rising against his authoritarian power grabs.
NO KINGS is a peaceful national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration, which they have doubled down on since June. They are targeting immigrant families, profiling, arresting and detaining people without warrants; threatening to overtake elections; gutting health care, environmental protections, and education when families need them most; rigging maps to silence voters; ignoring mass shootings at our schools and in our communities; and driving up the cost of living while handling out massive giveaways to billionaire allies, as families struggle.
President Trump is currently eroding checks and balances by exercising raw executive power in every way he can. We will not stand by as this happens.
Instead of allowing the president and his friends to believe that their attempts at silencing dissent and shows of force intimidate us, we will take to the streets and show them: Americans across the country will not cower in response to President Trump’s authoritarian takeover—we reject strongman politics and corruption and will fight until we get the representation we deserve.
Alongside local organizers, partners, and leaders from across the pro-democracy & pro-worker movement, we will demonstrate organized nonviolent people power that outpaces any authoritarian aspirations.
At events, attendees will receive Know Your Rights cards, or instructions on how to download them, to empower us to keep demanding that our rights are respected. We’ll also use it to start a conversation about how we're going to fight back and care for each other with our communities.
Bring a sign 🪧, your voices and a friend and join us as we stand up against Trump once again!!
