Across the country, people are mobilizing to stand up for our democracy and against the Trump Administration’s abuse of power. On October 18 – the ACLU of Illinois will join Indivisible Chicago and partner organizations for a mass demonstration to defend our freedoms.

This nationwide day of action comes in response to escalating threats to our rights and democratic institutions. We are seeing efforts to silence dissent, punish political opponents, undermine the role of the courts, and target immigrants and communities of color.

No Kings is a nationwide collective demand for accountability, dignity, and the rule of law.
