Rally at Union Park Ashland Ave & Lake St
June 26th 6pm
March to Fraternal Order of Police Lodge
1412 W. Washington Blvd
The Chicago lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police (the cop union) will be hosting a 1968 Riot Cop
Reunion. Officers who cracked heads at the Democratic Convention (and
at the Division Street riots of 1966, and possibly murdered Black
Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark) will be hobnobbing with today's
police who are still occupying our communities and phalanxing our
rallies.
We're organizing hundreds of Chicagoans to rally and
march, to speak from personal experience about violence of the Chicago
police in the 1960s, as well as their violence today. We will be
marching to the FOP lodge, and have filed for a permit to see if we
can't make it a bit safer for everyone attending (although we will
rally and march, permit or none).
Bring your friends, make
effigies and dolls of riot police, and help us let these cops who
celebrate their sadistic violence know: We can't forgit, because we're
still livin it!
