Occupy Elgin will meet at our usual location, the corner of Kimball Street and Grove Avenue in Elgin, across from Gail Borden Library from 1 PM till 2 PM. Our Message will be Honor the Paris Climate Accord!
Like many people around the country, we are horrified by Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the accord. But we are inspired that so many people, even entire cities and states and institutions, have stepped forward to say that they will observe the Paris Accord by cutting greenhouse gasses and cutting their own carbon footprint. We will keep up our part of the Paris Accords. We will take responsibility for making the earth livable for our children and grandchildren.read more

This will be part of a Nationwide Day of Action. Please join us in a rally for HR #676, Single Payer Health Care.
Thanks to the persistent and persuasive activism of literally millions of Americans, we stopped the cruel Paul Ryan Health Care Plan which would have thrown more than 20 million citizens off the insurance rolls. When that plan went down to a well-deserved and ignominious defeat, it opened up an opportunity for us to raise our voices and call for the only plan that will genuinely cut health care costs, cover everybody, preserve choice of provider, and give Americans the health care we deserve. Many of us have argued for Single Payer Health Care for years. The fight to make it happen is still a long and daunting one, because many of our elected officials and the mainstream media will not even conduct an open and fact-based dialogue about it. read more
