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.

While working families see their budgets stretched thin and communities see important programs and services cut, billionaires and big corporations continue to hoard massive amounts of money and refuse to pay their fair share. Join us to talk to Illinoisans about the importance of taxing the rich and patch them through to urge their legislators to take action!

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.
