Dear Chicago community! We are urgently seeking supplies for winter as people are released from Cook County Jail! Often people come out in t-shirt or light sweatshirt. Combined with waiting for the bus or a ride, this can be dangerous.
🧵Read for needs & more info!

There is a blanket drive in a few weeks for refugees at a northside shelter.
Please gather and drop off car-seats and blankets you have or purchase some, so that asylum seekers can stay warm and safe in the coming fall months
As a reminder, small recurring donations are most helpful in keeping our operation running longterm!

In Chicago, we're also blessed to have @ChiCommunityJS which has a daily presence outside the Cook County Jail to meet anyone who's released and provide them with similar resources/support
‼️ SEEKING DONATIONS FOR JAIL SUPPORT FOLLOWING ARRESTS AT THE DNC ‼️

This evening, Chicago Police arrested more than 70 people protesting the Democratic National Convention in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
NLG Chicago attorneys are at the station ready to meet with arrestees.
