DuPage County News You Can Use

Democratic Party of DuPage County

Weekly Newsletter

A Word from Chair Reid McCollum


Join tens of thousands of your fellow Chicago-area citizens on Sunday, May 18 from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM for Hands Across Chicagoland.


We will form a human chain of conscience across Chicagoland in peaceful protest against Trump’s illegal and authoritarian actions and the GOP's failure to defend the Constitution.


Bring signs, wear black, and make some noise. Here's a great article about the protest in the Riverside-Brookfield Landmark.


We'll be joined by Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton, Rep. Bill Foster, Rep. Robin Kelly, Democratic Party of Illinois Chair Lisa Hernandez, Sen. Karina Villa, Rep. Norma Hernandez, and Alderperson Michael Rodriguez. MARSHALS NEEDED: We need about 40 additional marshals for Sunday. Previous marshal training is not necessary!


You will need to attend one of two virtual briefing/training sessions on Thursday 5/15 at 7:30 PM or Friday 5/16 at 4:00 PM (both via Google Meet). Sign up here to be a marshal.


If you sign up to be a marshal, you'll be assigned a new location that will supersede the one you were assigned on the website. If you have friends or family planning to join you, take them along to the new location. Your area of responsibility will likely be 1/2 mile long. You will need to be available from 10:00 AM - 2:30 PM.

You can now text 9-1-1.


"It is still preferred that citizens call 9-1-1 if possible as it is faster and more reliable.


Using Text-to-911 in an emergency might be helpful for individuals needing emergency assistance who are deaf, hard of hearing, have a speech disability, or are suffering a medical emergency that has rendered them unable to speak. It can also be used in situations where it is not safe to place a voice call to 9-1-1."
