THIS WEEK'S TO-DO LIST FOR THE REBEL RESISTANCE
FOR THOSE OF YOU LOOKING TO TURN DESPAIR INTO ACTION, here are this week's opportunities:
#1 The NUMBER ONE JOB of the McHenry County Democratic Party IS TO GET DEMOCRATS ELECTED. There was an election on April 1st for some of the most important people in government - local school, library, park district, township, village and city boards. They spend your property taxes, and influence your children's education, your sales taxes, your drinking water, road repairs, traffic, pollution, zoning...the list goes on. And campaigning is already underway for the 2026 election.
- HELP A CANDIDATE. Knock doors, make phone calls, give them a donation.
- Become a BOARD REPORTER - Go to a local board meeting and then let us know the who & what is happening, so we can take action.
- Get involved with us! Come to a meeting or event, make a donation, volunteer for a committee or be a PC.
#2 CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES in Washington, in Springfield, on the County Board. Call every day. More info here.
It's especially important to contact Senators Durbin and Duckworth. Tell them to stand firm against the SAVE Act, which if passed would disenfranchise millions.
#3 UPCOMING PROTESTS AND ACTIONS
Sunday, June 8th -- 1:00 to 3:00 pm -- UNITED WE RESIST - Woodstock Square
It's the next stop in the "roadside rally" tour sponsored by McHenry County NOW (the McHenry County chapter of the National Organization for Women), and it's going to be in Woodstock Square, and it's going to be big. Here's the links for the event on Facebook and to RSVP via EventBrite. Please share far and wide.
