On Wednesday, Conde Nast management illegally fired four union leaders. While our union fights these illegal dismissals, the “Fired Four” have been left with no severance or COBRA coverage. Please donate to help cover their living expenses at the link below.

When SNAP benefits get partially or fully restored, please do not cancel any monetary or food donations you are making to local food banks. People are still going to need a lot of support.

one thing we could demand in chicago right now is shutting down the fusion center where chicago police and the department of homeland security coordinate
we would lose money but we can have principles that aren't based on taxpayer arguments

for this #FOIA Friday in Chicago, we offer ways to understand how city agencies work together to surveil and criminalize people in public spaces
the Chicago Park District + Chicago Police Department + private vendors and a Department of Department of Homeland Security Fusion Center make a playdate

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.
That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

It’s extremely frustrating that CPD’s role isn’t the number one issue the press are grilling the mayor about.
Caravan of federal agents spotted around 26th and Kedzie in Little Village. This has attracted crowd of residents yelling at them to leave. A community meeting nearby was cancelled. CPD is keeping crowds of residents back. Another disruptive day for something that’s become common in Little Village.

An important thread for understanding the conditions at Broadview immigration jail for those ICE / CBP is abducting. A court order was issued to improve conditions but nothing can reform this wanton disregard and care for people’s health, safety, and humanity. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.
