Freedom Rally is May 5th, 2024 at the IDOT Building
Help Stop Helmet Bills in Illinois & Nationwide
State Representative Daniel Didech has proposed HB5620, forcing Illinois Motorcyclists to wear helmets while riding. He wants to remove the freedom of choice from riders and believes the government should have a right to mandate the clothing you wear when you ride. ABATE (A Brotherhood Aimed Towards Education) has always stood for the proper education of riders, and allowing them to exercise the most basic of individual freedoms, the freedom of choice. Let those who Ride Decide!
What to Do to Help Stop this bill
1) Call State Representative Daniel Didech's Springfield office at 217-782-0499 & Representative Margaret Croke Springfield Office at 217-782-8062 . Firmly, --but politely ask that they remove HB5620 from consideration, or agree not to move it. Instead encourage them to work with ABATE on issues that will save lives such as motorcycle training, distracted driving, and regulating driverless cars.
