A dear friend, neighbor and longtime labor organizer is seeking support from his Mayfair community! After being in a serious car accident earlier this year, he has been out of work for several months. He is looking to make rent for next month and has a goal of $600. ANY amount helps.
(if you can't Venmo, please do me and we can figure something else out!)
Helping is each other is cool and fascists really hate it when you do.

While we are committed to keeping our community informed and safe, it is critical for those at risk to prioritize their own safety.

We're not at 2245 S Michigan, but someone just sent this in.
People have mobilized outside an ISAP (Intensive Supervision Appearance Program) office where a longtime member of OCAD was reportedly detained earlier today. Unknown whereabouts at this time, presumably being transported.

Folks OTG are calling for mobilization to shift to ICE Field Office further north at 101 W. Congress, where the person could potentially be transported first.
Typically detainees are then also processed at the processing center in Broadview, IL.

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?
Stop the Forced Displacement of the Gompers Park Encampment
Please sign and share this petition, particularly if you live in or near the 39th Ward.
It's so important that we make it clear that criminalizing homelessness is not what is best for our community and not what we want to happen.
