I worked with older adults for many years before I retired. During that time, I was privileged to hear their life stores as well as their commitment to the common good. I miss that now.Ā 


I am fighting to help heal our nation at its roots: to work with my neighbors to restore a sense of the common good. I fight, too, because the Constitution, which protects us and our common good, is being attacked by people who think they are above the law.Ā 


As a child growing up in the Belmont-Craigin neighborhood, I was taught the Constitution is based on the belief that no one person or group should take total control of the federal government.Ā 


Now, 60 years later, and as the mother of two, I stand with you to say that few things are more important than this belief for keeping our nation safe for our children and for each other.

šŸ“ Norwood Park

I am a proud product of the Northwest Side. Born and raised in Norwood Park, I am just one name on the long list of Kozlowskis who have called this neighborhood our home.Ā 


My family moved here before the Kennedy Expressway was built, and my grandfather was instrumental in the effort to have it recessed rather than at the street level. It’s a silly source of pride, but a source of pride nonetheless.Ā 


My grandfather stood toe to toe with bulldozers, all in an attempt to keep his community safe. Although he would die long before I came along, he shaped what I believed it meant to be a Chicagoan: someone who would stand to fight for their neighbors, even at their detriment.Ā Someone who would use their privileges to benefit the folks around them.Ā 


I was not raised to be quiet. The old joke was that I’m so talkative, you could draw a smiley face on a wall and I’d strike up a conversation. Talkative with strong opinions, activism seemed obvious.Ā 


It started when I joined my first labor union, good ole UFCW 881. At eighteen, I became the union steward for my job, following in the footsteps of my mother and her father before. I went on to study political science in college and found more folks who thought like me. From Occupy Wall Street in 2011 to last weekend’s Hands Off protest, I’ve tried to take part in any and all demonstrations that aligned with my beliefs.Ā 


I've logged hundreds of volunteer hours with assorted national and local campaigns, including Bernie (both times), Kamala, Pritzker (both times), Emanuel, and more. I've helped coordinate e-mail blasts, phone and text banks, as well as assisted with the creation and moderation of group Discord servers.Ā 


I’m currently volunteering on a congressional campaign for a candidate in IL-9 and am involved with this and other northwest side neighborhood groups.Ā 


I grew up queer in the only conservative area that’s in Chicago city limits – it wasn’t awesome. My sisters and I went to Catholic schools but were raised without religion. We only went to Catholic schools because my parents believed the education was better than that in a public school. Was it? I don’t know. What I do know is that Jesus radicalized me. Jesus radicalized me so much so that I can’t choose what I would consider ā€˜top issue’.Ā 


Housing, food, and education are all basic human rights. Trans, intersex, and non-binary folks have always existed and aren’t going anywhere.Ā 


We need more walkable neighborhoods with access to fresh food options, more places for community gathering, and more affordable housing.Ā 


We need an administration that works towards the betterment of our democracy and candidates that are moving towards a progressive future.Ā 


I am fighting for everyone who can’t. I’m fighting for the friends I’ve lost to police brutality. For the friends I’ve lost to addiction, poverty, and mental illness. The queer and trans folks who feel they need to stay quiet so they can stay safe.Ā 


I’m fighting for my mother and my Busia because THEY fought, hoping that I wouldn’t have to. I’m fighting for my grandfathers that fought Nazis in WWII and for my uncles that never came home from the Vietnam War.Ā 


I’m fighting for my home and my neighbors. I’m fighting for the folks who agree with me and for those who don’t. I’m fighting for the people who are afraid. And to the people who are afraid – I've got you.Ā 


Your voice is the greatest gift you’ve been given. Your heart is the second. Find what impassions you and pour yourself into it, even if you do so privately.Ā 


Educate yourself on social issues. ā€œSpeaking outā€ doesn’t always have to be audible... sometimes ā€œspeaking outā€ is simply standing in solidarity.Ā 


Support the general strike. Lean on the people in your community who are being loud and let them empower you. There is no wrong way to fight for what is right.Ā 


We’re in this together.

Top issue is campaign finance reform, because of endless $$ from lobbying it has made our politics corrupt and working for the wealthy, while the rest of us are ignored & having more burdens placed on us, the American people.Ā 


I am fighting for my kid's futures, for Democracy. The oligarchs wouldn't be where they are without US. We the PEOPLE, we can't give our power away, like the GOP are currently doing by not standing up to this wanna be dictator POTUS.Ā 


Strength in numbers and we can't just roll over and play dead.

I have dedicated my life to fighting for the most vulnerable, those with the most barriers, those in need of support.Ā 


As a social worker, I know how crucial public benefits are to the life and potential death of those that live navigating poverty and oppression.Ā 


I have worked in the fields of homelessness, women's rights, and LGBTQ activism for over 20 years.Ā 


While the work has always been hard, the challenges have never been so great. The very work that protects those in need, that prevents public health crises, that supports and affirms identity.. those services are being severely cut/eliminated every day.Ā 


We are watching programs gutted and mass layoffs, and we know that this is only the start of the impact of these changes. Now is the time, before we see the true impacts of these losses.Ā 


I fight for those who have to spend their time surviving, just making it through the day. I fight for my daughters.. for my queer family, for the world I believe is possible.Ā 


I fight because I have hope for a future without injustice.

Programs helped me through cancer, which I would’ve never afforded treatment for.Ā 


Programs have helped me stay on my feet since going single single with these kids.Ā 


And I have kids who deserve their rights as well. Both are LGBTQIA. One is autistic and may need program help in her future.Ā 


And in the words of AOC, all of the things being stripped are the things that we as Americans have promised to each other.Ā 


It’s time to fight.

Our democracy, including checks and balances & separation of power, is being threatened by bad actors wanting more and more for themselves at the expense of regular, everyday people.


Vulnerable groups are being targeted and discriminated against. I stand with my fellow citizens who are elderly, sick, poor, lgbtq, veterans, students, immigrants, union workers, federal workers, etc, in the name of upholding the constitution and rule of law so that we can all have the human rights we deserve.

I live in Libertyville but own a rental property in Logan Square.Ā My son and his wife also reside in the Logan Square area.Ā 


I'm joining Indivisible out of a feeling of outrage at the daily attacks on our democracy.Ā 


I have not previously been politically active but grew up in a home where my father (a history teacher) stressed civics and exemplified activism as a long term member of the organization Common Cause Ohio which actively sought campaign finance reforms.Ā 


My father was also very active in the early campaigns for Sen. Sherrod Brown and often spoke tirelessly of their efforts to promote single payer healthcare.Ā 


I'm recently retired (well at least partially) and I'm half Ukrainian on my mother's side.Ā 


I can't believe that the current administration would support the clear aggressor (i.e., Russians) in their clumsy attempts to broker a cease fire.Ā 


Not only does this reward the aggression against Ukraine, but it also drives a huge wedge in the 80 year old alliances that have served this country so well.Ā 


I feel like I'm fighting for younger generations that deserve the opportunity to live and govern under a functional democratic republic that is respected internationally.Ā 


That cannot be the case while Trump and Vance are in office.Ā 


I have an environmental work background (groundwater quality and contamination) so I have spent much of my career managing complex projects. I look forward to putting these organizational skills to work in helping protect our democracy.Ā 


I think JB Pritzker's State of the State address sums up the need for us to overcome our fears and speak out against the outrageous power grabs being made by the Trump-Vance Administration.Ā 


Pritzker noted how quickly Hitler undermined the German Republic in the run up to WWII. This makes the case that there is no time like the present to stand up to tyranny and speak out!Ā

Having begun college in 2016, the way I engage with politics and current events has so far been shaped by the Trump administration in one way or another.Ā 


I witnessed the Unite the Right Rally firsthand in 2017 while a student at the University of Virginia. While studying abroad, I was often asked about my opinion on American politics and the Trump administration.Ā 


My graduate thesis was centered around the language used by far-right extremists leading up to the election of Trump.Ā 


This existential threat we have and are currently facing under this administration has inspired me to engage in whatever form of resistance I can, and the best way I can do that is by supporting my community though empathy and compassion and elevating the voices that need to be heard.Ā

I fully expected Kamala to win the presidential election. Surely everyone knew what Trump represented (power, greed, fear of immigrants, anti-NATO, pro-dictator, criminal, etc) and the fallacies of the tenets of his campaign (immigrants raise crime .. NOPE, tarrifs are good .. NOPE, unilaterally stopping the Ukraine war .. NOPE, lowering prices .. NOPE, etc).Ā 


I was shocked he was declared the winner before the end of the night. I can no longer see my family, friends, and neighbors duped into believing and trusting this man. I had to do something.Ā 


My wife and I protested for the first time in Hands-Off a couple of weeks back and will again. I joined our community's Town Hall, which the DNC organized, but was not attended by our local GOP representative.Ā 


I've volunteered for more and look forward to the 2026 midterm elections. We all must do something!!
