Happy New Year!

Here at Indivisible Lincoln Square, we understand most of us are heading into 2025 with some level of trepidation, but as we like to say, "don't agonize, organize.” That's why we're starting the new year with a new plan to organize for the battle on the horizon.

Please join us at this Community Gathering to help plan our way forward. You can fill out this form to share your thoughts on what issues we need to undertake next or send us an email.

Thanks to all of you for being willing to say no to Trump and stand up for all we hold dear.

ILS Working Groups being formed.

We've identified 3 issues likely to come under attack at the beginning of Trump's term and 5 strategies on how to push back.

Our strategies to fight Trump and Trumpism include:

  • Influencing (through social media, meetings with elected officials, election-related work)

  • Protecting (both individuals and institutions being targeted)

  • Educating/Communicating (through forums, the Weekly Update, ILS website)

  • Collaborating (with local issue groups and unions)

  • Motivating (through the Call-To-Action newsletter, social, and more)

(This list is not meant to be exhaustive, because we know we'll need to be nimble and constantly evolving as we learn more about what Trump intends.)

Initially, we expect the need to fight on 3 fronts here in the Chicago area, and in each case we’ll use one or more of the above strategies.

  • Immigration (protect undocumented Chicago residents)

  • Environment (help neighborhoods combat environmental injustice)

  • Healthcare (advance and protect against cuts)

If one of these areas interests you, You can fill out this form to share your thoughts on what issues we need to undertake next or send us an email.

Unite to Rally against Trump

Monday, January 20th, 11:00 am
Federal Plaza, 230 S. Dearborn, Chicago

As we prepare for the threats of a Trump presidency and Republican control of Congress, we must work side by side with all groups that oppose the MAGA agenda.

On Monday, January 20th, Indivisible Indivisible Lincoln Square and Indivisible Chicago Alliance will be joining the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CAARPR) and other groups for a rally to Stop the Trump Agenda.

While January 20th is Inauguration Day, it is also the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr. In Dr. King's honor, we must stand together to oppose the oppression and greed of the incoming MAGA regime.

The Trump administration and the moneyed interests driving his policies are working to move our country towards an authoritarian regime. Authoritarianism requires us to give up hope, to isolate, and to cede our power. Only by joining together in community and embracing our collective power can we resist the attacks from the right and defend the most vulnerable of our neighbors.

Join Indivisible Chicago and other grassroots groups working to defend those directly impacted by the MAGA agenda, in discussing how we continue the fight, both locally on the ground and nationally.
