Visibility Brigade
2026-02-28 10:00 - 13:30
Come join the coolest protest demonstration around! 🚨
We install bold, provocative messages in highly visible areas during rush hour traffic—while having a blast✊🎉
Itinerary (Times may shift a bit depending on traffic & weather)

10:00–10:30 AM: Install & set up signs, banners, flags
10:30–1:00 PM: Dance Party! (Yes, really—we wave flags 🚩, shake pom poms 🎀, bang cowbells 🔔, swing pool noodles 🏖️—anything to make drivers look up at our message!)
1:00–1:30 PM: Take down & pack up

Weather

Rain? We’re still on. Fascism doesn’t take a break for the weather—neither do we! (We don’t melt ☔)
Severe storms (hail, lightning, etc.) are a different story.
Snow – we still go out! We may end early based on extreme temperatures. Dress warm and bring a thermos of hot chocolate. Inflatables are very warm and encouraged

What to Bring

Water or another drink (stay hydrated—it gets hot!)
Fun props (pom poms, cowbell 🔔, pool noodles 🏖️, etc.)
Comfortable clothes you can move & sweat in
A smile + a helpful attitude

What Not to Bring

Protest signs 🪧 (unless letters are 2+ feet tall—otherwise drivers can’t see them).

The Bridge Message is our focus—help us keep it strong
Rules of the Road (and Bridge!)

If MAGA folks approach, record—don’t engage.
If police come: no worries, we’re legally allowed to protest (we’ve checked).
Stay to the sides so cyclists, runners, and walkers can pass easily.
Motorist engagement: stay positive—even with the haters.

Be safe, be helpful, and HAVE FUN!

Kane County Young Democrats Meeting
2026-03-02 18:00 - 19:00
Since January 2025, members of our community and across that country have witnessed an attack on our values, leaving many of our feel powerless. It is so important to remember that change starts locally. Part of that change means organizing, advocating, and leading in a way that says no more politics without young people at the table.
I am happy to invite you all to our first meeting in a while! On Monday, March 2nd from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM, we will have a Zoom meeting where we can go over setting stronger foundations for the organization, hearing from elected officials and candidates, and deciding where we go from here. It is time to bring the energy,. If decisions affect us, we decide too.
Please RSVP here so you can receive future updates and the Zoom information leading up to the meeting.
I am excited to see you all there. All ages are welcome, candidates are welcome. If you cannot attend, but want to show support, please share our posts on Facebook and Instagram!
Thank you,
Casey Fitzgerald
President, Young Democrats of Kane County

Jason Crow | Special Guest and Keynote Speaker
We are thrilled to announce that Congressman Jason Crow (@jasoncrowco) will be joining the Kane County Democrats as our keynote speaker for this year’s Truman Dinner! From serving as an Army Ranger to leading the charge for accountability and democracy in D.C., Rep. Crow knows what it means to put country over politics. As we look toward the 2026 midterms, there is no better voice to help us fire up the grassroots and keep Illinois moving forward. Jason Crow has served as the United States representative for Colorado’s 6th congressional district since 2019. In November 2025, Crow was one of six people, all Democratic lawmakers, to be part of a video telling servicemembers they can refuse illegal orders.
