This happened to one of our community members, Maureen, last month at Broadview.

We got her story, and those of nine others, at amplifyicnw.org/what-our-nei...

Spoiler alert: these are not "radical left lunatics." We're your friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

#broadviewprotests

We're going to win.

An astonishingly large crowd!

🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏽👫🏼 We'll see you at noon, Sat. Oct 18, Grant Park! (1/4)

I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.

Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled.

His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside.

In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.

Steve's arrest is yet another case of unlawful and inexcusable actions by the Trump regime to silence dissent, punish those who disagree with them, and attack our communities. We demand the immediate release of journalist Steve Held! (3/3)

Steve Held is a co-founder of Indivisible Chicago Alliance, a cherished friend, and an engaged member of our community. (2/3)

❗️ WE DEMAND THE RELEASE OF JOURNALIST STEVE HELD. Federal agents detained Chicago journalist Steve Held of the independent press platform Unraveled @unraveledpress.com on Saturday, Sept. 27, while he was reporting on the ongoing protests outside the ICE Processing Facility at Broadview, IL. (1/3)

Chicago gears up as Trump troop deployment looms: ‘We aren’t helpless’ City on edge as Trump threatens to send in national guard, but organizers and residents are taking steps to push back

We can’t be effective if we don’t act together. We draw our strength from each other. That is the strength of Chicago, and that’s what’s going to get us through this. What Trump’s administration doesn’t understand is that we are in a community. ~Denise Poloyac, Indivisible Chicago #HandsOffChicago
