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!
