On Saturday, July 25 in downtown Waukegan, NE Lake County Indivisible held a vigil in honor of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Guerrero, the most recent victims of ICE murder.

This action had a powerful impact as attendees held the pictures of ICE victims over their heads as the names of 72 victims were read aloud. 

We appreciated the words and leadership of Joanna Jaimes, Director of Policy and Leadership Impact at Mano a Mano as well as Reverend Gene Green from the Lake County Clergy Action Network.

A core mission of NELC-Indivisible is protecting our neighbors. You can join us in these regularly occurring volunteer efforts:

TABLING: Volunteers station themselves outside of grocery stores to share Know Your Rights information to the community. Training and materials are provided for this super rewarding action. Email here to get involved.

WHISTLE KITS: Join one of our fun and easy events where volunteers assemble whistle kits for community members, featuring Know Your Rights information. Click here for details of our next event on 8/22 in Grayslake.

RAPID RESPONSE: Talk with a member of the Leadership Team to learn more about what a “legal observer” does, and we may be able to refer you to the network.

We appreciate the many partners who joined in on this action, spreading the word and showing support to the community:

We especially appreciate Randy and Patty, the leaders of Indivisible Western Lake County, who helped coordinate our marshals for this action. ❤️
