Across the country security officers, janitors, airport workers, and caregivers marched side by side with families who have felt the direct impact of ICE raids and federal overreach. The No Kings Protest served as a direct showing of what democracy looks like. It looks like solidarity.SEIU Local 1 security officer Reiko Dyson, who has worked in the industry for over two decades, was one of the many working people who took to the streets. Now she’s taking that energy to local legislators in Illinois to continue the fight to ensure the state can remain a sanctuary of safety, dignity, and justice.“I am a security officer in Chicago and a Local 1 member  for 26 years. I participated in the No Kings protest and I saw tens of thousands of working class people sticking together to support our immigrant brothers and sisters. Now it is  time for the state legislators who represent  US to take action, to stop the federal overreach on our state. We call on our elected officials to support the SALT package that would keep federal agents from detaining people and children at our hospitals, courthouses, schools, and more. It is time for the people who represent us to act.”For Reiko, the protest was not an endpoint. It’s only the beginning.See more here.
