Gurnee, IL — On Saturday, April 5, more than 3,000 people demonstrated in Gurnee in protest of Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and their MAGA allies. The demonstration was organized by the Lake County Democrats, Warren Township Democrats, Lake County Democratic Women (LCDW), and NE Lake County Indivisible.
“People are genuinely concerned about what they’re seeing and hearing from Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and their MAGA allies, who care more about being praised on social media than they do about how they are hurting veterans, threatening Social Security, and tanking the economy,” said Lake County Democrats Chair Lauren Beth Gash. “Today’s demonstration was about saying, ‘Hands off!’ to Musk, Trump, and cowardly Republican politicians here and across the country, to tell them to stop with the reckless right-wing antics that hurt real people.”
In addition to organizing today’s demonstration, Lake County Democrats recently have organized multiple peaceful demonstrations outside the Tesla dealership in Libertyville, and helped get out the vote in Wisconsin to help defeat Elon Musk’s candidate for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, among other efforts.
