We Can Lead Change, Fox Valley Activists, Fox Valley Rising, HIKE Indivisible, Batavia-Aurora Indivisible, and Batavia, St. Charles, Western Kane, and Elgin Township Democrats will be hosting a vigil on July 17th, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis' passing.

We will be standing for an hour - bring a lawn chair if needed.
We will also have folks who will help people sign up for Vote By Mail. Look for Information table.

Join We Can Lead Change to participate in this national day of nonviolent action as we host this vigil to demand that Congress fight back and protect our freedom to vote. This is a moment of moral clarity and collective power.
We march in peace. Together we are stronger.
A core principle behind our events 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 and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
