Springfield Day of Action
2026-05-27 05:30 - 19:00
With our allies in the Illinois Revenue Alliance, we are heading to Springfield for a day of action on May 27, with hundreds of people all together letting our elected officials know: put the people first or we will SHUT IT DOWN. This will not be a standard lobby day – instead we will be making sure that our representative understand the urgency we feel as Trump’s cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, rent subsidies and other programs are hitting our communities. We demand a budget that puts people over the profits of big tech, big corporations and billionaires. Join the fight.
We will leave at 5:30am from the ONE Northside office, 4750 N Sheridan Rd, and return around 7pm. This will be a day PACKED with action in our state capitol. No experience is necessary – just the ability to be present for a full day of action and the willingness to use your voice to fight for our communities. We will provide transportation, breakfast and lunch, and training for the events of the day.

Money for Our Communities, Not Big Tech!
2026-05-20 16:00 - 17:30 | Belmont Red Line Station, 944 W Belmont, Chicago, IL, United States
As the Trump administration continues to cut funding for programs that benefit our communities, we must demand that billionaires and rich corporations pay their fair share in Illinois! State lawmakers can lead the way in raising revenue by taxing massive corporations, like Amazon, to address the affordability crisis and expand public services. We’re organizing now because we don’t want legislators setting the terms of the debate around cuts, we want them answering to us. Join ONE Northside and JCUA in Lakeview on Wednesday, May 20 for a lively action ahead of the 2026 legislative session!

We will meet at the North Side of the Belmont Red/Brown Line stop (944 W Belmont) before we head on a short march. We will be asking members of the public to support our communities through direct donations to mutual aid while our legislators have yet to promise to support our communities.

2026-04-15 05:30 - 19:30 | ICA, 4750 N Sheridan, Chicago, Illinois
Billionaires and big corporations get richer while our communities pay the price. We need our state lawmakers to pass a budget that holds the rich and big corporations accountable to paying their fair share and puts people first. We are going to Springfield on Tax Day, April 15, with the Illinois Revenue Alliance to demand a budget that taxes the rich and big corporations so workers and families don’t bear the brunt of Trump’s devastating cuts. Join us! We will leave from the ONE Northside office on a bus at 5:30am and return around 7:30pm. We will provide breakfast and lunch. Everyone is welcome! We will provide training on how to talk to your representatives about the issues that matter to you and the budget demands we are fighting for.

Fund Our Futures, Not the Fascists!
2026-04-13 16:30 - 18:00 | Amazon Chicago HQ, 227 W Monroe St, Chicago, IL, 60606, United States
In Chicago, we all look out for each other. We work as teachers and caregivers, organize with our neighbors, and pick up whistles when masked ICE agents threaten our community.
But corporations like Amazon and billionaires like Jeff Bezos are getting obscenely rich off our labor, our data, and our tax dollars. Then, instead of paying what they owe us through taxes, they’re backing Trump’s murder regime so they can keep lining their pockets.
Join us at Amazon’s Chicago office as we demand the very rich pay what they owe, so we can fund the schools, childcare, healthcare, and affordable homes we all need to thrive.
Wear your orange ONE Northside shirts or hoodies!
Let’s show up strong, bring our voices, and let them know:
It’s time for corporations and billionaires to pay what they owe us!
