So proud of our new Parents Committee's first family-friendly protest event!

We held a "Play-in" at Portage Park with signs, Project #Mailstorm letters, and lots of fun kids activities.

We're committed to providing accessible ways for families to fight back.

Now is the moment. Call your elected officials. Demand they speak up. We say the names of the disappeared, and they must, too. When we stand together, we are stronger than fear, louder than hate, bigger than their MAGA greed. Courage is contagious. The streets are calling. Are you ready to answer?
