NWI Resistance is organizing a protest and is asking for CDSA’s help!

“We must do anything and everything to oppose current immigration abusive practices, especially child abuse in family separations. On July 6 we are planning a protest to stop family separation and stop deportations at the Gary-Chicago International Airport.”

**If we can get enough people to commit early, we may be able to have buses provided from Chicago to the Gary International Airport and back through Jobs with Justice, so please RSVP as quickly as possible to help coordinate transportation. To RSVP, email our Anti-Racism Working Group at cdsaarwg@gmail.com**

Aurora and surrounding suburbs, please join us as we come together for a night of prayer for those children that have been separated from their parents and are awaiting reunification. Communities of different faiths will come together to speak about the inhumane practices the current administration has put on innocent children and the most vulnerable. Please join leaders from the Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, and Buddhist communities among others to come as ONE for one issue. Water Street Mall by City Hall

V.O.C.A.L. of Arlington Heights and We the People - Mt. Prospect Area will hold a very important rally on June 30th to coincide with national marches for #Familiesbelongtogether. We will meet at Village Hall in Arlington Heights at 11am and march down to North School Park for our rally. We hope you will join us in this fight to protect ALL children.

*If you run an organization and are interested in helping with the planning process, please send a direct message through this page or email to vocalofAH@gmail.com.

NOTE: This event is recurring and we will try to post dates as they become available. See organizer’s site for full details

• All out and against colonial borders & the Immigrant Rights Lobby [IRL] •

Stand with our communities in opposition to the so called “US-Mexico Border” and the logic of family friendly detention centers, deportations, anti-blackness, anti-indigineity & border militarization.

Stand with our communities in opposition to the immigrant rights lobby [IRL] who continue to promote policies that traumatize, murder and separate migrant communities, Black society, & sovereign Native peoples living along the border.

Who are the power players in the immigrant rights lobby [IRL]?

• Corporate Democrats like Luis Gutierrez and Dick Durbin

• Corporate Republicans like Donald Trump and Jeff Sessions

• State and Private Prisons like GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America

• Israeli Apartheid Corporations like Elbit Systems and G4S Securities

• Surveillance Companies like Facebook, Google, & Microsoft

&

• Immigrant Rights “Non Profits” like Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, SEIU, and the Heartland Alliance.

How many immigrant child prisons does the Heartland Alliance operate in the Chicagoland area?

How many millions of dollars does ICIRR receive from federal foundations to promote anti-immigrant, anti-black, & anti-indigenous, pro-military legislation?

How many of us are ready to break away from corporate social justice movements and leaders and continue building autonomous movements from below?

[stay tuned…]

Meet at 2PM “the horse” at Michigan and Congress.

STOP Terrorizing Immigrants and Refugees!
Demonstrate Saturday July 7th
Take to the streets in cities and towns nationwide
TO DEMAND:
This Nightmare Must End:
The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

Children torn from parents… concentration camps for tens or hundreds of thousands… threats to bypass judicial process… The assault on immigrants is the linchpin and battering ram of a whole fascist program:

* The Muslim Ban. * White supremacy and terror. * Environmental deregulation as the planet burns. * Open misogyny and theocratic restrictions on abortion and even birth control. * Stripping away rights recently won by LGTBQ people. * 8 million on the verge of starvation in Yemen due to U.S. backed war. * Threats of nuclear annihilation.

This is an American Fascism: “Trump/Pence regime’s ‘Make America Great Again’ is a 21st century fascist program of Manifest Destiny – ‘America First’ – wrapped in the flag and Mike Pence’s Bible taken literally, with a program of white supremacy, misogyny, and xenophobia.”

ENOUGH. Basta Ya!

We know enough to see what has been put into motion. If we allow them to get away with caging and torturing children, they know there is nothing they can’t get away with. Every crisis this regime gets through strengthens them. This is a shock we cannot normalize.

We – the masses of people – must act to stop this whole fascist program and demand that this illegitimate, immoral, regime be removed from power.

This cannot wait until November. The Trump/Pence Regime will not be bound by the normal political process – they are shattering norms, remaking the courts, radically altering the whole political and global landscape. The Democratic Party will not stop this. For them, empire and order is more important than justice, even if that means the order of fascism.

On July 7th: Join Refuse Fascism, mobilize your organization or your friends and neighbors and take to the streets across the country to raise the demand:

This Nightmare Must End: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!

Initiated by RefuseFascism.org @RefuseFascism

Thousands showed up to Saint Sabina’s Peace March but we can’t stop there. Now that the country has seen what is happening on the south and west side of Chicago, it’s time for action. We’re going to disrupt the flow of traffic July 7th to make sure they know we’re serious.

We invite all of Chicago because the answer belongs to all of Chicago. No one gets a pass to bring peace.

We will march on the Dan Ryan from 79th Street to 68th with a list of five demands carried overhead on a banner.

WHAT WE WANT

• Resources for our communities
• National Common Sense Gun Laws
• Jobs
• Excellent Schools
• Economic Development

Sign up to RSVP for the protest and we’ll send you everything you need to participate and connect you via email with other net neutrality supporters in your area. Plan to show up at 12pm local time on June 26th, and please invite everyone you know!

Why now?
The FCC repeal of net neutrality just officially went into effect and the Internet is outraged. But Congress can still overrule Ajit Pai and restore the free and open Internet using the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

Why here?
The CRA already passed in the Senate. Now we need to do the same in the House. So on June 26th we’re channeling our anger productively and protesting outside our representative’s offices in key districts across the country. We need 218 reps to sign a “discharge petition” in order to force a vote and win.

How can I help?
First, RSVP for the protest right now so we can be in touch! Then send this link to everyone you know and invite them to attend. We’ll need volunteers on the day of the protest to pick up banners and signs (we’ll take care of the printing!) and lead others in chants etc., so check the box if you can help with that.
