What is the local impact of Trump's massive Federal chaos on our community? In this Town Hall, we'll hear from several local residents who are former federal employees, and elected officials from Cook County and Illinois. We'll hear how the gutting of our federal government has a deep, wide-ranging impact on our local community and how it is hurting friends and neighbors. And we'll talk about What We Can Do About It. See you at Palatine Library in the big meeting room. We'll hear from local, former federal workers from the Commerce Department, the Securities Exchange Commission, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services, and NASA. Elected officials include Illinois Senate Majority Leader Cristina Castro, State Rep. Nabeela Syed, 51st District., State Rep. Mary Beth Canty, 54th District; Cook County Commissioner Scott Britton, 14th District, Commissioner Kevin Morrison, 15th District, and Commissioner Maggie Trevor, 9th District. U.S. Senator Richard Durbin's Regional Director, Yasmeen Bankole, will be on hand to address federal issues. This event is co-sponsored by NWSOFA-Indivisible.  Please click here to sign up.
