We will be joining the Hands Off! rally in Bloomington, Illinois, organized by Voices of Reason of Indivisible, to demand that Trump and Musk’s Doge stop their attacks against Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food assistance.
It will be held on the grass area of the Bloomington Center of the Performing Arts (600 N East Street, Bloomington, IL), Saturday, April 5th, 12 – 1 pm.

On Monday, February 24th, approximately 100 people gathered at the Normal Uptown Circle to say NO to any cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, Medicare, and Social Security. The message was for Darin La Hood, who ended up voting soon after for a federal budget that would necessitate cuts to at least Medicaid and student loans. Pressure is growing nationwide opposing these cuts, as the Republicans are literally stealing from our programs in order to give to the wealthy.
The event featured many local groups, as reported on by WGLT. Rachel Shively represented the Illinois Single Payer Coalition in announcing our local campaign for Medicare for All.
