WE NEED YOUR HELP

In 2023, our elected officials cut a deal behind closed doors with Gotion, LLC to build an electric vehicle battery plant in Manteno, IL. This plant is estimated to receive over $7 billion in state and federal tax subsidies, and appallingly, Gotion is linked to the CCP and slave labor in China.

Taxpayers are subsidizing a national adversary tied to slave labor! We are fighting in court to stop the deal. So far, our small group has raised over $70,000 to fight this. We cannot do it alone! We need your help. Please donate whatever you can to our fight (donations are not tax deductible).
