March on the RNC: Buy your bus tickets NOW!

Hundreds of people from the Chicago area are preparing to travel to St. Paul, Minnesota on September 1st to march on the Republican National Convention.

Leading activists from Chicago, including Teamsters Local 743 President Richard Berg; immigrant rights organizer Jorge Mujica from the March 10th Movement; Hatem Abudayyeh from the Arab American Action Network; and Kathy Kelly, Nobel Peace Prize nominee will be speaking at the protest.

Donate

If you are unable to travel to St. Paul, you can assist others that want to be part of the historic protest. You can contribute whatever amount you can afford. Recommended donation is $65, to cover the full cost of a bus seat. We are committed to getting everyone to St. Paul that wants to go, but many, especially low income people, aren't able to afford the price of a ticket. Help them get on the bus!
