Heads up @NewLenoxIL Mayor Baldermann & Board of Trustees!

Saturday, Jack Lombardi, IL hopeful for Congress & his group of speakers tied to anti-vaxxers, militias & sexual harassment will be using @NewLenoxParks for their rally & info session on how to demand 'no masks for kids'

Lombardi appears to be putting on a sideshow rife with
#COVID19 misinformation where he's incorporating the #QAnonCult slogan "Save The Children" with anti-vaxxers, similar to what was recently seen in Springfield, MO when a hospital mandated staff vaxxes

Who's speaking at @NewLenoxIL Village Commons to rally against kids wearing masks in a pandemic?

MC is John Anthony, former lawmaker who resigned to take $10k/month post at IL Dept of Corrections, & fired after complaints he groped women at an xmas party apnews.com/article/9d9d67…

Speaker Rob Cruz, @ILGOP & failed US senate candidate from #Chicago southland suburbs, also anti-mask/anti-vaxx, is currently suing IL Gov Pritzker to relieve him & Lt gov of their powers, promoted by Lombardi as admin in his 'Save Our Children' fb group facebook.com/groups/8474453…

There's Christina Mc, organizer with IL Patriots. Their logo is *very* similar to one of We The People III% Militia, a far-right militia, seen tattooed on a member of IGOT & WTP. All reports from comrades

Interestingly, all issues are exactly what IL Patriots are organizing against per site archive.is/rbtRq

Of course, IL Patriots is on Gab. For the blessedly unaware, Gab is a social media site with few restrictions on hate speech

Gab was taken temporarily offline after the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh mass shooter was confirmed to be a verified user:

Thomas G. Devore's group Liberty Initiative is offering training sessions on what to say about masks to school boards, thanks to Lombardi's FB group

Liberty Initiative, a not-for-profit group appears to be a front for Silver Lake Group law firm as the members are the exact same

How do we know Liberty Initiative and Silver Lake Group have overlapping members? We got eyes:

Full list of Liberty Initiative team archive.ph/7VFDA compared to Silver Lake Group names and photos archive.ph/yasbE

There's only one person who is not listed on both

Then there's ringleader Jack Lombardi, a longshot for US Congress, whose ties to #ProudBoys have been long documented

Who're the Proud Boys? Read how the neo-fascist group is embedding within anti-vax parent groups:

Jack Lombardi's most recent anti-mask rally was canceled largely because of public outcry & concerns for the health & safety of original venue staff

Our 🧵🧵🧵:

Also theorized that the venue pulled Monday's rally was because the speakers are vile
Aside from Lombardi (known #ProudBoys bud) Dr Jessica Hockett, vocal & public anti-gay advocate & Chef Partner Tim Hockett

)

So we ask @NewLenoxIL Mayor, Board of Trustees & @NewLenoxParks if the Village Commons being a home to a rally that promotes #covid19 misinfo, violent neo-fascist associates, w potential ties to a far-right militia is consist with their values as leaders.

Some other questions for @NewLenoxIL to consider:

How does holding a potential super-spreader event attended by people who are against masking affect the rest of the population, including local hospitals capacity?

Is New Lenox leadership against the COVID vaccine?

Do @NewLenoxIL Trustees & Mayor support the #ProudBoys &/or Jack Lombardi?

Is Village leadership against protecting children from the pandemic? Here's the current news, about IL #covid19 cases: abc7chicago.com/covid-illinois…

And it's not just us asking! We encourage everyone 🧦🧦 to politely ask village leadership about where they stand on supporting Jack Lombardi's Parent's Choice - Save Our Children rally
