Please join EmpowHer (a new grassroots group in the northern suburbs) for a peaceful, nonviolent gathering to stand together for our Constitutional rights, truth, freedom, and our intentionally marginalized communities--all of which this administration is attempting to erase. Not under our watch!

Please do not park in the CVS & WesBanco parking lots.
We encourage carpooling. Parking outside of the former Dick's Sporting Goods/Home Goods as the primary parking area for most folks. Participants with mobility issues can be dropped off at the CVS parking lot to gather at the CVS corner.

Our Community came together to help elect pro-democracy, pro-human rights candidates and issues this week. Our rallies are a great way to meet new friends and neighbors, welcome kids in our presence, and show our democracy-loving neighbors that we are with them!
