There is nothing to celebrate during a time when the ruling classes of the failing US empire scramble to consolidate power & wealth. The Trump Administration continues to attack the working class and our most vulnerable communities, but the masses won’t stand down.
We rallied at Federal Plaza & took to the streets to demand End US aid to Israel, cease settler-colonial occupation of Palestine, end mass deportations, ICE out of our streets, stop police crimes, money for jobs & education, and uplift the protection of Black, Brown, LGBTQIA, & reproductive rights.
On July 4, as a member of the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda, we joined the masses in the People’s Independence Day March.

Join Anti-War Chicago at our upcoming April meetings. It is more important than ever to get organized, find your community, and take collective action against Imperialism, war, and the US/Israel reign of terror.
Together, we can make a difference and fight back against tyranny.
From inside the board room, we could hear our protest outside continuing to chant. ISBI had NOTHING to say in response, except that they would "move on with [their] agenda". Illinoisians do not want our money funding war, death, and destruction. Plain and simple.
Palestinians shared how excruciating it has been to watch their people, including whole families and thousands of children, massacred for profit, and to see ISBI and Frerichs continue to invest in this genocide.
ISBI attempted to intimidate the public with excessive presence of police (exceeding the number of attendees) and increased security protocols since the last meeting we attended. Frerichs was conveniently absent for the second quarterly meeting in a row.
Despite it being a public meeting, ISBI, in collusion with the building owner, obstructed our access to the meeting by locking the building doors after only 16 people were allowed in, and only 5 people were allowed inside the board room for public comment.
We protested the Illinois State Board of Investment (ISBI) quarterly meeting yesterday and packed the public comment to demand ISBI and its Vice Chair, State Treasurer Michael Frerichs, stop funding genocide through Israel Bonds and investments in companies complicit in the occupation of Palestine
Happening now: outside the IL State Board of Investments meeting in downtown Chicago, activists are rallying against ISBI Treasurer & Vice Chair Michael Frerichs.
Frerichs is responsible for increasing the state's investment portfolio in war weapons manufacturers like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
Join our protest at the Illinois State Board of Investments this Friday, March 21 at 8:30am, 180 N La Salle St, to demand ISBI and State Treasurer Michael Frerichs divest our tax dollars from genocide!
Our role in the belly of the beast is to cut off the flow of money that enables Israel to commit these atrocities. So join an organization! The people united cannot be defeated, so let’s build the unity we need to end Illinois aid to Israel!
