"There are some pressing issues facing this commission at this time, like ending pretextual traffic stops, finishing the unfinished work of rooting out organized white supremacy from within the police department, and facing down the repression being doled out by the Trump regime.

Use the script on slide two to call in and build the pressure on Pritzker to do what’s right, and comment on this post when you’ve called. Justice delayed is justice denied!

If Pritkzer is serious about being the progressive he likes to present himself as, he needs to get to work!

CALLS NEEDED to demand Gov. Pritzker move on clemency petitions collecting dust on his desk. Alonzo Franklin is just one of 100s of wrongfully convicted petitioners waiting for the governor to make a ruling.

In this moment, they are killing us, we’re not killing them.

We can’t wait for things to get worse before we fight for things to get better. Resist now! All Power to the People!"

They’re capitulating by focusing their response to this assassination by condemning political violence as a general concept, divorced from the reality that we presently face, which is one of unchecked power for the ultra-right.

It is clear that the corporate media, the Democrats, and unfortunately some forces in the progressive people’s movement are capitulating instead of fighting back.

But the point I want to make is about their use of the same tactics and strategies for creating a moral and political climate conducive to political terrorism.

"Historically the only thing I think that we can compare this with is the burning of the Reichstag in Germany right before Hitler took power. That is not to say that I think that the fascist movement in Germany and the Trump-led movement in the United States are historical twins.

Please read and share Frank Chapman's latest statement from the Chicago Alliance on how the enemies of our movement are using the Kirk assassination.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

“Trump is violating the Law. He has no legal, constitutional right to do what he’s doing.

“This is an illegal military occupation of our community and we have an inalienable democratic right to resist it.”

Read our statement in response to Trump’s threats to send in Federal Troops to Chicago.

Deranged figures like Kristi Noem and Donald Trump have their eyes on Illinois and Cook County, we must also have our eyes on ICE.

No to martial law! No to ICE! No to the Broadview ICE Facility!

CLOSE THE BROADVIEW ICE FACILITY! Join us on Sunday, August 31st at 12pm for a march and rally at the ICE Facility in Broadview! We will be gathering to let ICE know that wherever they operate, there will be opposition to their criminal organization.

Trump has now threatened to deploy the National Guard across all "blue" states, targeting Chicago next. We are joining forces with the national chapters of the Alliance to showcase the power of our movement and fight the waves of repression coming from the racist and reactionary ruling class.

🚨EMERGENCY ACTION 🚨
JOIN US THIS THURSDAY, 8/14, 5:30p in Federal Plaza! We are coming together to fight back against Trump deploying the National Guard in D.C. This attack against the people paves the way for Martial Law and will expose our communities to advanced, militarized, racist policing.
