Lisle Township Democratic Organization

Our May Membership meeting will be held Monday, May 11th from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

at the Naperville Municipal Center. Delegate Elections to the Executive Committee of DPDC will be held; only elected and appointed PCs may vote.

The tentative agenda is at go.ltdo.org/may-agenda.

This Friday, May 1st, 2026, at LTDO will be moving into our new office at 1280 Iroquois Ave, Suite 106, Naperville, IL, and will be staffed starting Friday May 8th, 2026. Many volunteers stepped it up and put their POST-IT on the May posterboard schedule so the hours will be:

*And to be sure – the first day we are open is *Friday May 8^th!

We will be closed for Memorial Day Weekend, which is Saturday, May 23^rd, Sunday, May 24^th, and Monday, May 25^th this year, so everyone can enjoy their holiday.

So far, there are no evening hours. However, we expect that will happen as the need arises, probably in the summer, as long as we can get volunteers.

Staff responsibilities include greeting and signing in visitors, answering the phone, guiding volunteers to various tasks such as folding and stuffing literature, addressing envelopes or postcards, text and phone banking, receiving literature and signs, and whatever might need to be done.  Feel free to suggest any other things LTDO should be doing!

The ever popular “Post-It” posterboard will be available at the May 11th LTDO Membership Meeting so volunteers can sign up for June office hours. Also you can let Sue Quigley know when you might want to volunteer and I’ll put you on the schedule.

Hi there! I’ve been putting together a spreadsheet of resources I’ve found helpful or interesting in opposing Trumpism. At least right now, this is a personal project and NOT an official LTDO product; as such, this reflects only my own tastes. However, I hope some of you will find it helpful. There are three tabs: “News and Commentary”, “Resources”, and “Charities”. You can find it at go.ltdo.org/resist.

If you have suggestions, you’re welcome to send them to me at mjspieglan@gmail.com. Again, this is NOT an official LTDO project at this time.

Excerpted from a recent Indivisible Chicago newsletter.

Email Senators Durbin and Duckworth

The Senate will be negotiating the details of the DHS funding bill over the next two weeks. It is crucial that we keep the pressure on and be specific about what is in the funding bill by emailing both Durbin and Duckworth with our demands.

Below is the suggested email to send to Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth.

Suggested email text:

Thank you, Senator, for your no vote on the DHS funding bill as DHS must be reined in. Now we need your continued leadership as the details of the spending bill are worked out.

In support of the letter that you received from reputable organizations such as the ACLU, CASA and many others, we demand that ten meaningful measures be included in any DHS spending bill before providing your next vote. This is not an exhaustive list. These provisions should be written to apply regardless of the source of funds, including appropriated funds and funds provided through H.R.1, and designed to meaningfully stop harmful and abusive enforcement measures in our communities.

The 10 Demands for inclusion in DHS spending package are:

1. Halt ICE and/or Border Patrol spending until full Congressional investigation.

2. Stop immigration enforcement based on racial profiling (end Kavanaugh stops).

3. Ensure accountability for abuses by federal officers and end qualified immunity.

4. Stop mission creep No funds made available to DHS may be used to engage in civil immigration enforcement activities in the interior of the United States (defined as more than 50 miles from a land or sea border).

5. Stop enforcement at sensitive locations as defined in the Sensitive Locations Act, H.R. 1061/S. 455.

6. Stop warrantless arrests.

7. Stop family detention and halt any new contracts for private detention.

8. Repeal the Alien Enemies Act or withhold funds for its use.

9. End the expansion of harmful 287(g) agreements.

10. End Operation PARRIS which means no funds made available to be used for indiscriminate arrests of lawfully present refugees in Minneapolis and Maine or any other city.
