About the event

Our rights are under attack. Our democracy is under siege. We’ve been here before, and we know what to do.

On July 17, we honor the anniversary of the passing of civil rights hero John Lewis, not with ceremonies, but with action. Across the country, we will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

This is more than a protest, it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.

SECOND SATURDAY

Second Saturday

Thank you to everyone who filled the room for DPOP's Second Saturday meeting! We appreciate how engaged our community is and your thoughtful questions. Our Oak Park delegation of Senate President Don Harmon, Representative Camille Lilly, Senator Kimberly Lightford, and Representative La Shawn Ford presented the achievements of the recently concluded Springfield legislative session. Thank you to the community for coming and for all of the candidates who introduced themselves to the group. Thanks for packing the house!

NO KINGS RALLY

No Kings Rally

Thank you to everyone who attended any of the thousands of protests nationwide on June 14th!  Thank you to all of the Oak Parkers who rallied and marched from Scoville Park!  And thank you to the many DPOPers who came downtown to join the thousands gathered at Daley Plaza (can you spot us in that aerial picture?)!  The fight continues.  More rallies are scheduled for July 17th.  Stay tuned and stay involved!
