Defending Democracy in McLean County

Here at Stronger Together we formed because we believe in liberal democracy and the rule of law. We joined together to resist authoritarianism and to promote human rights.

We believe a unified community is a strong community. We serve as a connector and amplifier for activist and community support organizations to help them spread the word about events, trainings, and meetings. We also help groups to liaison with each other to create collaborative projects.

You don’t have to do it alone — we are stronger together!

IMMEDIATE CALL TO ACTION!!

There are currently around 50 members of Congress publicly calling for Impeachment or the 25th Amendment. This is a direct response to the American people screaming for Congress to do something about this war in Iran and the president's vile rhetoric and recent threats. While the 25th Amendment is a stretch (though this time is exactly what it was designed for), impeachment is on the table, and your voice matters.

Call your U.S. Representative and both Illinois Senators. Tell them: enough. Congress must act.

Please visit 5Calls.org, put in your zip, and your representatives' names/numbers will populate. There are many scripts available if you need help with what to say. These are critical calls to make, and it doesn't take long. (Courtesy Normal Women Rising)
