We aren’t just here to party, we’re working to do some good for the community! During the event we will be collecting the following items for Logan Square Mutual Aid and dropping them off after we wrap up.

Do some good, eat some food, and enjoy a celebration of Labor!

Our chapter is endorsing Tanggol Migrante Chicago’s campaign to free Tita R, a 71-year-old Filipina working mother, grandmother, and green card holder who was detained and mistreated by ICE and is at risk of deportation. An injury to one is an injury to all ✊

The #Chicago police were looking for a fight at the end of the #NoKings march when they blocked off all the exits to the plaza to prevent people from continuing to PEACEFULLY protest. Looks like they found a fight later at Ida B Wells.
Who do you protect? Who do you serve? Not the people, obviously.
