Indivisible Elk Grove Township’s inaugural event draws 6,000

One of the Indivisible Movement’s newest chapters, Indivisible Elk Grove Township, hosted their first event on June 14 in Arlington Heights to join with millions of protesters nationwide who gathered on Flag Day to demand an end to executive overreach and to reclaim a country that is governed according to the Constitution by We the People.

Lynne S, the Indivisible Elk Grove Township chapter’s founder, attributes the overwhelming success of this event to many factors.

“We had an incredible lineup of speakers headlined by U.S. Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi and including state Rep. Mary Beth Canty (54th), state Rep. Nicole Grasse (53rd), County Commissioner Kevin Morrison (15th) and Jesse Rojo (Illinois Veterans for Change) among others.”

Lynne also credits the support and cooperation from village officials and the Arlington Heights Police Department and a peaceful, but energetic crowd who showed up in record breaking numbers to unite and proclaim “No Kings in America!”

Local officials stated that the “estimated crowd of 6,000” was peaceful and well organized. Attendees embraced the Flag Day theme by waiving thousands of American flags as they marched and lined the sidewalks along Northwest Highway and Arlington Heights Road.

The Indivisible Elk Grove township chapter was newly formed on May 1, 2025 in response to the Trump Administration’s perceived executive overreach and threat to Democracy. Founder Lynne S says “This is our first event and we are thrilled at how it came together, but we’ve only just begun and we won’t stop until governmental injustice ends and Democracy is fully restored.”

Indivisible is a nationwide grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy and defeat the Trump agenda.
