🧵 1/5 Today, OCAD organizer Antonio attended the City Council meeting to discuss whether there should be a referendum that puts the Welcoming City Ordinance in jeopardy - a meeting that, if @RaymondALopez got his way, would be detrimental to ALL people of color in Chicago.
4/5 We want to make it very clear: @RaymondALopez 's rhetoric is RACIST, XENOPHOBIC, and ANTI-BLACK. Again and again, Lopez has been at the forefront of negating Black and brown people’s housing, food assistance, and financial support.
5/5 Again & again, Lopez has been at the forefront of negating Black & brown people’s housing, food assistance, & financial support. We will NOT be fooled or buy into the divisive political ploy playing out in City Council right now #DefundCPD #AbolishICE #UndocumentedAndUnafraid
Black and brown people's unity is what will ultimately liberate us!! Don't be fooled by racist, right-wing rhetoric, policing for one community means surveillance for all #AbolishCPD

SIGN & SHARE: Jose Luis, OCAD organizer Antonio Gutierrez's father, is facing deportation proceedings after an encounter with Border Patrol. Please help us stop his deportation! #FreeThemAll #CommunitiesNotCages
Each year, @POTUS has given billions of taxpayer dollars to fund ICE & CBP so that they can separate families through detention and deportation, militarize communities, and neglect people in their custody. Enough is enough! People need resources and care! #DefundHate

OCAD retweeted
A group of migrants from the Pilsen shelter attempted to deliver a letter to the @ChicagosMayor denouncing mistreatment and abuse at the makeshift shelter.
The group says they’ve been denied help and resources to find housing.

The judge said that even IF constitutional rights were violated it wouldn’t be “egregious” enough to meet the standard. 🤬 /// El juez dijo que incluso SI se violaran los derechos constitucionales, no sería lo suficientemente "atroz" para cumplir con el estándar.
