U-Haul and Budget vehicles are being used by ICE to carry out raids in Chicago. Transporting both people and firearms is a direct violation of their rental terms. Are they okay with their vehicles being used this way? #uhaul #budgettruckrental #boycott #indivisible #indivisiblechicagonw

This brazen attack on an American city is illegal, unnecessary, and seeks to further erode our democracy.

Indivisible Chicago Northwest @indivisiblechicagonw.org · 06/09/2025

Many NW Chicago officials are standing with us against Trump’s use of the National Guard and active-duty Military. To date, over a dozen alderpeople, IL state reps & senators, and county commissioners have signed on to oppose this action. Read the open letter here: letter.indivisiblechicagonw.org

Opposing the Military Occupation of Chicago

See the dozen+ Chicago alderpeople, IL state reps & senators, and county commissioners who have signed on to unequivocally oppose this action.

Dear Northwest Side Neighbor,

We, Indivisible Chicago Northwest, and elected leaders representing the Northwest Side, unequivocally oppose the Trump administration’s threats to mobilize and deploy the National Guard and active-duty military to Chicago.

This is an alarming attack on states’ rights and an insult to the will of our local governments and residents, bringing extreme risk and fear to our immigrant and homeless communities in particular.

We are a nation of laws, and the law is clear: the U.S. military cannot be used for domestic law enforcement purposes (Posse Comitatus Act of 1878). Federal law outlines extremely limited instances in which the President may deploy National Guard members—specifically, in response to an invasion, insurrection, or when the President is unable to enforce federal law through conventional means—none of which apply to Chicago (10U.S.C.§12406).

Contrary to Trump’s characterization of Chicago, the city has seen a historic drop in crime. In the first half of 2025:

Violent crimes fell by 22%

Shootings fell by 37%

Carjackings fell by 49%

Resisting is hard work. And it's easy to get exhausted or burnt out with endless protests and bad news. So, take breaks. And don't feel guilty about it. Sitting out a few weeks is better than being burnt out forever. Our real enemy is apathy. We can't let it win.

And contrary to Republican propaganda, the majority of people on Medicaid work or have a legitimate extenuating circumstance for not working.

The largest cut to Medicaid just took place. Up to 12 million people could lose their health insurance.

Going back to school? Be careful. Student loan deferment in case of hardship is going away. You'll have to make payments no matter what.

Trying to make your home more energy-efficient? No more tax credit for that either.

Thinking of buying an EV? Better do it quick before the tax credits disappear.

At 1 am on 6/19, when SCOTUS allowed TN to ban gender-affirming care, a neighbor, Jessie Miller (she/he), finished writing a song. “I needed this song to remind me I am enough, I have always been enough, and my community is beautiful and vibrant.” Listen at amplifyicnw.org/song-i-see-your-colors/

I see your colors,
I can hear them,
I can hear them scream.
They scream for joy, they scream in pain, they scream to be seen.

I see the fire
That smolders inside of you.
They cannot take you, cannot keep you from being you.
I wish that I could say that they would stop trying .

F*** those in power,
We got the power
To see light through
They can't see all your glorious shades & hues.

And what a shame for them that we get to live our truth.

They want to take away our joy but they can't tho
They want to take away our joy but they can't tho (x2)

To think that a US citizen has to live in fear is unconscionable. That little, everyday tasks like going to grocery stores or waiting in line have changed from mundane to stressful. This is not the country we believe in. Our neighbors deserve better. #amplifywithICNW

Stories are powerful. They inspire. They humanize. They spread like wildfire. That's why we built amplifyicnw.org. To amplify our community's voices, one story (or poem!) at a time. Like this one about a wife's fear for her Mexican-American husband. amplifyicnw.org/poem-stand-b...

Indivisible Chicago Northwest @indivisiblechicagonw.org · 18/06/2025

We loved celebrating the power of storytelling at the launch party for amplifyicnw.org. It was great to cap off #nokings weekend with our community, bringing to life why we’re in this fight via hyperlocal stories. Thanks to our amazing community, speakers, and hosts. So much more to come!

Fact: You have rights if ICE shows up at your house. “You don’t need to let ICE in unless they have a legal warrant signed by a judge. You don’t have to speak to them; you can call a lawyer.” Read more of Nan's story. 👇 amplifyicnw.org/immigration-... #amplifywithICNW

“You don’t need to let ICE in unless they have a legal warrant signed by a judge. You don’t have to speak to them, you can call a lawyer. The Know Your Rights effort is an important way for refugees to protect themselves.”

Myth 2: America is under attack by hordes of criminals. “These are mostly families with small children. They want to follow the rules because they want to stay. The Trump admin doesn't give them due process before they detain or deport them. There is often no regard for their human rights.”

“In my experience, these are mostly families with small children. They want to follow all the rules to the letter because they want to stay here. Their worse offenses are things like maybe a car accident. They are very cautious. The Trump administration is not giving them due process before they detain or deport them. There is often no regard for their human rights.”

Indivisible Chicago Northwest @indivisiblechicagonw.org · 17/06/2025

Myth 1: People who cross the border seeking asylum are here illegally. “The refugees I work with are not illegal. They are human beings who have come in good faith seeking asylum, a recognized legal process. Nobody leaves their home unless they have to. They flee for safety and a better life.”

“The many refugee families I work with are not illegal. They are human beings who have come here under various visa statuses, including Humanitarian Parole, Temporary Protected Status, Special Immigrant Visa and others in good faith seeking asylum, which is an internationally recognized legal process. Nobody leaves their home country unless they have to. It’s the place they were born; it’s everything they know. They flee for safety and a better life.”

Our new media platform, amplifyicnw.org, tells the stories of our impacted neighbors AND those we call the "helpers." One such helper is @nanwarshaw.bsky.social. An Albany Park resident and founder of Refugee Community Connection. This week, she helps us dispel immigration myths. #amplifywithICNW

When I asked Isabel what her goal was in making this harrowing escape, she folds her slender hands in her lap and simply tells me in Spanish that she came looking for a peaceful life. Vida tranquila.

Indivisible Chicago Northwest @indivisiblechicagonw.org · 16/06/2025

Isabel faced a grueling journey from Colombia two years ago, when her youngest child was just 7 years old. Militants aggressively recruited men like Isabel’s husband. When he refused to participate, they killed her husband’s brothers in retribution. He was certain to be next.
