SUMMARY:Chicago May Day Rally & March
DESCRIPTION:This May Day\, a broad coalition of organizations are uniting for a day of action and economic power\, including this rally and march. We are taking action in solidarity with workers\, immigrants and everyone impacted the most by the Trump regime’s barbaric attacks on our rights and freedoms. \nJoin us to support these organizations for a powerful May Day in Chicago! We continue our resistance to the Trump regime by showing up on this International Workers’ Day — and every day — to fight for a better future and country that serves workers\, not billionaires\, and to demand ICE out of our communities! \nWhen workers and communities rise up together\, we fight back with more power and we will WIN! We stand with our partners at: Chicago Federation of Labor\, Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights\, Chicago Teacher’s Union\, Illinois Labor History Society\, SEIU HCII and more. We’re united to demand fair wages\, safe conditions\, healthcare\, education\, voting rights\, immigrant rights\, LGBTQ+ rights\, abortion rights\, and dignity and justice for all. \nMore events and actions across the city coming soon—stay tuned for more info or go to: https://chicagomayday.org/ \nPlease note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Advocacy Day with Equality Illinois
DESCRIPTION:Our community is under attack\, and we need your voice now more than ever. \nAcross the country\, we are seeing the rise in harmful efforts targeting LGBTQ+ people\, including renewed pushes to legitimize and expand so-called “conversion therapy\,” a practice that has been widely discredited and condemned for the lasting harm it causes. These attacks threaten the safety\, dignity\, and well-being of our community\, especially LGBTQ+ youth. \nOn May 21\, 2026\, LGBTQ+ Illinoisans and our allies will come together in Springfield to advance equality and send a clear message to our elected officials: our lives are worth protecting. We must do everything in our power to ensure Illinois remains a true sanctuary for LGBTQ+ people\, a place where everyone can live openly\, safely\, and authentically. \nJoin us and bring your friends. Share this call to action with your networks. Together we can stand strong against hate and work towards a future rooted in dignity\, justice\, and care for all.
