Every day our country reaches a new low. Today it's Senator Padilla being violently thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Who knows what it will be tomorrow. We're not afraid to admit we're afraid.One thing we do know. Cassian Andor was right when he said, "The Empire cannot win. You'll never feel right, unless you are doing what you can to stop them." We don't feel right unless we're doing what we can to stop them.
Saturday over 1800 groups across our country will rise up to demand an end to the tyranny and corruption. Like our many of our forebears, Niya (the woman Cassian was talking to) lost her life in a battle against an empire. All we're asking you to do is attend a peaceful protest in Rockford. We outnumber them. We need Saturday's attendance to show that. We need you there.
Saturday, June 14th, 11am-1pmRockford City Market Pavilion, North Water Street & Market Street, Rockford
