Hands Across Chicagoland

JOIN HANDS. SPEAK OUT.

DEFEND DEMOCRACY.

30 miles of solidarity, from Aurora to Chicago

Sunday, May 18, 2025 • 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM

What We Will Do

We will form a human chain of conscience across Chicagoland in peaceful protest against Trump's illegal and authoritarian actions.

We will line sidewalks from Aurora to Little Village along Ogden and 26th Street.

This is a peaceful protest. We will not block streets or businesses along the route.

Bring signs, wear black, and make some noise!

See the FAQ page for more information.
