Ways you can get involved:
Join the Fight For Child Care Funding
Trump is freezing billions in child care funding to Illinois and four other states, which could be devastating for providers and families.
We need more investment in programs that support children and families–not less. These cuts to child care funding could lead to reduced hours and closures, and they could drive experienced providers out of the field, making it even harder for families to find safe, affordable care.
Sign on below to fight for the children we care for and their futures.
Fight Back, Fight Forward / ¡No te dejes y lucha de frente!
Donald Trump and the Republicans passed a law that pays for mass deportations and tax breaks for billionaires by taking away Medicaid for 11 million people.
We’re call their bill what it really is: “The Big Ugly Bill.” They are also stripping workers at the Veterans Administration of their union rights. We’re not falling for divide and conquer tactics. We’re going to demonstrate solidarity. We’re going to fight for better lives for everyone – no matter our race, our immigration status, or who we love.
Sign up for regular updates and ways to get involved in our Fight Back, Fight Forward Campaign.
ICE out of our communities—stop deportations now!
Join us as we mobilize to protect our neighbors, our neighborhoods, and our rights.
Send a message to Congress and the Trump administration. Tell them to immediately halt deportations and detention. Demand that ICE and Border Patrol stay out of our communities.
Tell them to respect the rights and dignity of all people!
