Dear Chicago community! We are urgently seeking supplies for winter as people are released from Cook County Jail! Often people come out in t-shirt or light sweatshirt. Combined with waiting for the bus or a ride, this can be dangerous.
🧵Read for needs & more info!

There is a blanket drive in a few weeks for refugees at a northside shelter.
Please gather and drop off car-seats and blankets you have or purchase some, so that asylum seekers can stay warm and safe in the coming fall months

It's the last night of the DNC and hundreds of jail support volunteers are ready for whatever needs come up. Not too late to support this work financially! All leftover funds will go to @ChiCommunityJS, which ensures that our support goes beyond isolated protests

In Chicago, we're also blessed to have @ChiCommunityJS which has a daily presence outside the Cook County Jail to meet anyone who's released and provide them with similar resources/support

This evening, Chicago Police arrested more than 70 people protesting the Democratic National Convention in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
NLG Chicago attorneys are at the station ready to meet with arrestees.

Do your part to help house this man. Any donation is appreciated
Call Mid-America Realty and tell them to stop evicting unhoused people. Today MA and CPD attempted to remove a 77 year old man in a wheelchair, missing a leg, from the sidewalk in front of Belmont and Major. Call them and give them hell! (630)954-7326
