Nearly 2 years ago, a schoolteacher named Cassandra Greer-Lee called Chicago’s beloved “progressive” Sheriff Tom Dart 132 times to save her husband in his jail. Address the conditions there. Her husband died. Dart increased human caging. Now more people will die. Indifference.

WITNESS: What's happened to Cassandra in Chicago is the story of the indifference of jails throughout U.S. In April 2020 she called 132x to save her husband from COVID in jail. Ignored. He died. More caged now than when he died. This is her voice. Part 1:
“My name is Cassandra Greer. I am the wife of Nickolas Lee. I’m calling the jail to no avail. His health is declining. He was gasping for air. I was telling him memories we had. Things we were gonna do. But God saw fit for something else.” Part 2:
Cassandra teamed up with local artists, directors, & performers to create 132 Calls, an animated 3-part short film series that features Cassandra’s first hand account of her efforts to save her husband, the humanity of others inside, & her fight. Campaign: 132calls.com
