No King Day Rallies
For No Kings Day (Saturday June 14), UPI is joining other higher education members to take a stand and help push the message that our students and institutions cannot afford to have cuts to their Pell grants and education. If you are in the Chicago area, the No Kings Day rally/march starts at noon in Daley Plaza. As a group, higher education is meeting between 11am-11:15 in Federal Plaza and then will walk to the rally at Daley Plaza.
Retirees let Elizabeth Essex know your coming.
Macomb and Galesburg are having
rallies
They’ve defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services. The corruption has gone too. far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings.
Macomb Noon to 1pm.
Galesburg 2-4pm.
Check the AFT Volunteer or nokings.org for locations and to RSVP for any local rallies near you.
