Justice For Laquan: People Rise Up – Chicago – Jan. 21, 2019

Monday, January 21, 2019 at 12 PM – 2 PM CST
51st Street and S. MLK Dr

From the murder of Laquan, to the cover-up, to politician’s disregard of the demands of Black Chicagoans, to the assassination of Laquan’s character in the courts, to the outrageous and unjust sentencing, the system has proven itself unwilling and unable to meet the needs and demands of Black people and all those vulnerable to the violence of the state.

Join us on MLK day – Monday, January 21st at 51st and S. MLK Drive at noon. We will rally and march in solidarity with victims and survivors of police violence. We refuse to back down! People, Rise UP! Justice for Laquan! Justice for Them All!
