Hello,

I am a husband, father, and community leader who has dedicated my life to serving others. For many years, I've worked side by side with neighbors, local organizations, and the faith community to advance social justice, improve people’s lives, and build a better, more compassionate world.

In 2024, I was elected as Democratic Committeeperson for Chicago’s 45th ward, an unpaid, public service role focused on sustaining our democracy and supporting Democratic candidates at every level.

In October 2025 I was indicted on federal charges along with five other people for protesting at the ICE Facility in Broadview, IL. I am pleading not guilty. The legal fees that I will incur to defend myself will be substantial, and I need your help to get through this very difficult time for me and my family.

I ask for your generous donation that will be used exclusively for my legal defense fund. I’m grateful for your support.

Michael Rabbitt
