Love.
Top 10 Rally Reminders Lead with Love, Not Anger. Focus your energy on what you stand for, not what you stand against. Anger fades; compassion lasts. Look Out for One Another. Offer water, a smile, or friendly chat to someone nearby. Check on families, elders, and people with mobility needs. Smile and Greet Others. Say hello, wave, or share a word of encouragement. Small acts of friendliness build community trust and lower tension. Celebrate Families and Kids. Keep the atmosphere family-friendly, and invite children to join in with chants and songs-joyful ways to express civic pride. Lift Your Voice with Positivity. Joy is contagious. The more you smile, sing, and stay grounded, the safer and stronger everyone around you feels. Keep It Clean and Respectful. Leave our rally space as beautiful as you found it-or better. Treat it with respect, care, and gratitude for peace. Make Your Sign Speak Peace. Choose messages that uplift-creative, clever, values-based signs draw attention without aggression or profanity. Be Mindful of Words & Tone. Speak with kindness, even when disagreeing. Avoid insults, sarcasm, or chants that demean others. Model Nonviolence in Every Action. If confronted, breathe, stay calm, and step back. Do not engage or argue, alert a Guardian in an orange vest. Carry Joy Beyond the Rally. After the event, share stories, photos, and reflections that highlight unity and courage-show the world what peaceful power looks like.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Last night in the campground where I am camp host, I had to put out two unattended campfires 🔥. Winds were gusting to 30 mph. The rangers are getting furloughed on October 18th. Don’t be stupid. Protect our National Parks by staying out of them until the shutdown is over. Or volunteer to help.

That does horrible things to a community, to people's ability to function. There are families who haven't left their homes in weeks, relying on networks of trust to bring them essentials. Kids staying home from school, fear about every unknown car on the block. And those fears are not unfounded.

To a somewhat lesser extent, the same is true of several other areas. Cicero has seen heavy ICE activity similar to Sunday in Rogers Park about twice a week lately. Same for the southeast side, same for southwest suburbs like Burbank and Bridgeview, same for Hammond and Whiting across the border.

I'm in BotY, Brighton Park, Gage Park, or Englewood a couple times a week. ICE and CBP have been so ever-present there that I have run into multi-vehicle phalanxes of masked agents completely at random on two different occasions in the last three weeks. 47th is a ghost town compared to spring.
