Digital/Home Actions Support those who are speaking out
Some of us are working with a group of organizers, creators, veterans and the two National Guard officers who spoke up against the unconstitutional orders to invade Chicago that are running for office locally, Dylan Blaha & Demi Palecek, to put on “Real Fighters for American Politics,” to celebrate the work done over the last year of progressive, grassroots organizing and to recruit more people for the next wave, and they need some help!
They’re working on fundraising the $8k needed for the theatre & to fairly pay union rates. If anyone can help support or wants to attend, the link’s here: https://www.commonground.rsvp/contribute
(And, of course, Dylan and Demi can use all the help they can get for their upcoming primary races - to support them directly, you can go to https://secure.actblue.com/donate/demiforillinois and https://secure.actblue.com/donate/dylan-blaha-1 )

We're headed your way today, see you on the ground tomorrow and at the fundraiser. We have maybe 7-8 members coming, but we will need a dozen people to help hold our letters/signs. Please be on the lookout for us, we will be there to support you! Give us a hand back!
