People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

When you see a negative comment about something you love, try this simple test:
1 Did you love it before the negative comment?
2 Do you still love it after the negative comment?
If the answer to 1 and 2 is “yes,”then:
3 Why are you upset? Go love your thing. No one’s stopping you.
