Boost Voter Turnout in Our Neighborhood
Boost Voter Turnout in Our Neighborhood

Join Indivisible Lincoln Square as we knock doors as part of the 40th Ward Civics Research Project.

 For local Chicago elected officials, the decisive election is the Primary Election, not the General Election.  But, Primary Elections often see lower voter participation compared to General Elections. This research project aims to uncover why this happens and how we can mobilize our community members to make their voices count in every election cycle.

 The first canvass is Saturday, May 4, 2025 and more cavasses will be scheduled.

Know Your Immigration Rights

Helpful information on immigrant and refugee rights can be found here:

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) provides information on rights, what to do if stopped or questioned and other helpful informaiton.

The Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC) offers a downloadable and printable template of wallet-sized cards to hand out to friends, family and neighbors who may not be able to speak to ICE agents in English if stopped or questioned. On one side, these handy cards outline what to do if stopped in one of nine languages.  The other side, in English, informs the agent that your friend, family or neighbor declines to answer questions, sign any documents, etc.

Local Hotlines:

  • CalI CIRR’s 24-Hour Family Support Hotline at 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693) to report suspected ICE activity.

  • Report ICE raid or arrest through the Resurrection Project portal.

National Hotline:

The hotline is available to family members, community members, and people who have recently been released from detention. 

  • Call (209) 757-3733 from outside of a detention center

  • Dial 9233# from inside a detention center

The Office of immigrant, Migrant, and Refugee Rights offers a 16-page Know Your Rights guide in the following languages:

English:  Know Your Rights & Resources

Spanish:  Conozca Sus Derechos y Recursos

French:  Connaissez vos droits et ressources

Chinese:  了解您应享有的权利 与资源

Sponsored by Indivisible Evanston, NWSOFA-Indivisible, and Indivisible Skokie, this protest is a crucial stand against the influence of Elon Musk and his ties to divisive figures like Donald Trump. 

As Musk continues to wield significant power over public discourse and policy, it’s imperative that we act swiftly to challenge his influence. This protest is part of a broader movement to hold Musk accountable for his actions and to urge Tesla owners to divest from the company. By joining this event, you will be part of a collective voice demanding change and promoting accountability.

Join Indivisible Lincoln Square to finish up our canvass of businesses in the 47th ward and make sure they know what to do if ICE comes knocking.

 When visiting a business, simply explain that you're worried about our immigrant and refugee neighbors and workers who may be targeted by ICE and other federal agencies. Tell them you’d like to share some materials to help guide their response in case this occurs at their workplace, and that they can share with their employees.  We’ll leave literature for future reference.

Join us to phone bank to voters in Illinois's 12th district. We ask them to pressure their Republican rep to protect Medicaid.

 In Illinois this includes almost half of our children, two thirds of our seniors in nursing homes, and 40% of all pregnancies. MAGA wants to cut this and other essential services (like SNAP) so that they can continue tax giveaways to the ultra wealthy. They are trying to fool folks that this will “trickle down” benefits, though this has NEVER been shown to work.

 But this budget is NOT a done deal.
