Manteno Freedom Walk and Fundraiser

September 8 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

Please meet at 333 S. Spruce St and join us on a walk to the Manteno American Legion as we peacefully protest the Gotion plant.

There will be a fundraising event held after. However, we are doing this basket raffle a little differently. We are asking for a $20 donation for entry into all of the baske raffles. If you are unable to attend, but would like to donate, please contact us.

Donations are for attorney fees related to our lawsuit and are non-tax deductible.

Let’s show up and let our Village leadership see how We The People of Manteno feel about Gotion! They may be able to censor our mission for the Octoberfest Parade, but they cannot stop us from holding a peaceful protest.

Also, we are working on a statewide fundraiser. Just know help is on the way!

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).
