Indivisible Des Plaines next public meeting: This Friday, 10/23 at 7:30pm
Des Plaines Public Library

Indivisible is a nationwide movement of millions of people working to stop the rise of authoritarianism in the United States and to demand a real democracy. We believe that politics is too important to leave up to the politicians – it requires all of us to get on the field.

We know that democracy only works when everyday people organize, show up, and hold those in power accountable. We are a local chapter of this organization here in Des Plaines, made up of volunteers, concerned and caring citizens. Please feel free to join us at a meeting.

Ok FRONT PAGE!
📢Des Plaines, IL – On Saturday, October 17, local organizers, community members, and volunteers in Des Plaines will join communities across all 50 states and Washington, D.C., for No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of action focused on nonpartisan voter participation and election protection.

The local event – taking place at Lee & Oakton, 1-2pm – will serve as a hyper-local gathering site where neighbors can double-check their voter registration, locate polling places or ballot drop boxes, organize rides to the polls, and connect with voter protection networks ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

✔️With early voting available at the Des Plaines Library beginning 10/19, we know casting our ballot is our primary tool of authority.

On October 17, we’re coming together to make sure everyone has a concrete voting plan and that every legal vote in our community is protected and counted.

🚨The Des Plaines event is one of more than 2,000 No Kings: Vote Early actions nationwide. Groups organizing the events across the country include the ACLU, American Federation of Teachers, Black Voters Matter Fund, 50501, Indivisible, League of Women Voters, MoveOn, Public Citizen, State Voices, and Voto Latino, among others.

10/12/2026

For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.

Join us at our favorite intersection:
Lee & Oakton, 10/17, 1-2pm 🔥
