SUMMARY:Hands Off! (LWV Greater Rockford)
DESCRIPTION:LWV Greater Rockford is partnering with Stateline Indivisible on the Hands Off! day of democracy action on Saturday\, April 5. Like the Light For our Democracy event\, LWVUS is an official sponsor of the Hands Off! event.\nPlease join League members and use this link to sign up: https://mobilize.us/s/LpVkDG https://mobilize.us/s/LpVkDG?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3EQvwfUczVlISkAKWFvGty7kp5Z2wHjkp3tAVKtDyUmnt3Fsw3Lz-Ty3E_aem_Oy6eCWD2kxDbskfeNBzHYA\nWe will meet at the park\, there will be a march for those who are able\, and a return to the park for a rally – bring your signs! LWVGR Immigration Chair Sara Dady will be one of several speakers.\nDonald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Rockford is fighting back! They’re taking everything they can get their hands on—our health care\, our data\, our jobs\, our services—and daring the world to stop them. This is a crisis\, and the time to act is now.\nThis mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy . Alongside Americans across the country\, we are marching\, rallying\, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement.\nA core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
