White supremacy kills Black people in the streets, in their homes, at work, and in prisons. Lynchings by police and vigilantes must stop. Death by infection due to incarceration must stop. On this #DayOfProtest we are fighting to stop them.

From Frank Chapman: "Listening to some of our people who call themselves leaders admonishing us about violence and going along with reactionaries and public officials calling the people in Minneapolis rioters fills me with anger and disgust."
"Whenever the oppressed rise up they are always told you are hurting no one but yourself. "I understand your anger but this is your neighborhood you are burning down," they say. Really?!
You mean these are my slums, my roach infested houses, that I am forced to live in. "
"You mean these are my police stations that function like military outposts where daily racist assaults are staged against us. Protesting against these oppressive conditions and killer cops is a democratic right."

We are taking action to demand that the lives of the people, particularly Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people who are being hit hardest by the pandemic, are put before the pockets of corporations. Image
We are fighting for an end to racist violence, and for the rights of workers, many of whom are Black, Latinx, and Indigenous, not to be forced back to work with covid-19 still ravaging their communities. Image

The #FreeThemAll forum was on Saturday! It featured a moving film on torture in Chicago as well as a panel of survivors and organizers. You can watch the video here: facebook.com/caarpr/videos/…
Unfortunately @stacydavisgates was unable to attend the forum due to an emergency meeting. We still appreciate her support and the support of @CTULocal1 and we stand in solidarity with them in their fight to get resources and assistance to students during the pandemic.

Gerald Reed is still in NRC at Stateville. His health has improved but we are still pushing for prisons to test everyone inside & not just those who are seriously ill.
This article outlines the importance of mass testing in addition to #MassReleaseNow:

@GovPritzker is moving very slowly on depopulating prisons and jails. We suspect this is partly due to pressure from right wingers who obviously don't want anyone to be let out of prison, so we need to build more pressure to counterbalance them. Keep calling! Image
