Thanks to everyone who came out to our Lake Dems candidate petition event in Gurnee. People signed petitions, had them notarized, looked at by lawyers, and turned them in. Nice job, everyone!
We'll hear from leaders of Mano a Mano, an organization in Lake and McHenry Countries that provides a comprehensive array of culturally competent supportive services to our local immigrant communities, and other stakeholders.
Join us to learn more about what's happening -- and what we can do to make a difference. RSVP: lakedems.org/neighborsunited

We're fed up and we want to make our voices heard. We want to be able to tell our children and grandchildren that we were on the right side of history.
Masked agents are grabbing people off the streets. People are scared to drop their kids off at school or even to go to Home Depot. The Trump Administration is undermining our values every day. They're ignoring the Constitution.
Join us this Saturday, October 25, 11:00 to 12:30, at a Lake County Democrats presentation: Neighbors United. We'll be at the North Shore Unitarian Church, 2100 Half Day Road, Bannockburn. RSVP: lakedems.org/neighborsunited
Saturday shows the growing energy channeled by Democrats, who've helped lead previous peaceful demonstrations against Trump and Musk, brought out large crowds on Labor Day to stand up for workers over billionaires, and have organized candidate petition drives to help get Democrats on the ballot.
"They have no patriotism, and no clue, except for how to attack our basic rights and steer the country into a darker and darker place," said Gash. "Here in our area, NO KINGS is a no-brainer. We've rejected Donald Trump from the beginning, and we aren't backing down now."
Lake County Democrats Chair Lauren Beth Gash said, "NO KINGS protests throughout the country made clear that Donald Trump and his lackeys are abusing their power and pushing dangerous policies that are undermining our core American values..."
There was a lot of passion and a lot of work that went into this: Lake Dems helped to manage the local demonstrations, recruited speakers, trained safety marshals to help make sure protests were peaceful and organized, and sent volunteers and attendees to the protests.
The Lake County Democrats co-sponsored four NO KINGS protests in the area on Saturday that attracted an estimated 15,000 people in Highland Park, Gurnee, Buffalo Grove, and Arlington Heights. Thank you to everyone who attended and who helped in other ways. There's more...
Come join us for the #NOKINGS peaceful protests today! We'll be in several places.

This is a simple but important way to take action and stand up for our Democratic values. Stop by on Sunday!

NO KINGS is a national movement committed to peaceful protest, and we could use some more marshals to help achieve that goal. Let us know if you're able to help us at one of our upcoming NO KINGS protests (and let us know which one).
Join us on this national day of action when together we'll send the message loud and clear that we have NO KINGS in America.
Are you ready to make your voice heard? Join Lake Dems on Saturday, October 18, when we'll be participating in NO KINGS peaceful protests all over the area, including Highland Park, Gurnee, Buffalo Grove, and Arlington Heights. See below for RSVP info. Let us know if you can help us at the protests.
Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate and honor the cultures, traditions, and contributions of our country's first people. Let us honor their resilience and treat them with dignity and respect.
Mano a Mano is doing great work with the community at this perilous time when so many are feeling vulnerable here in Lake County. Donate if you can.
