This group was created to act as a centralized location for Chicagoans to gather information about up and coming movements, marches, protests, and shed light on community injustices and the people who perpetrate them. This group is about calling people to action, and not about discussion beyond organizing a plan. Pointing fingers gets us nowhere, where activism with a plan does. So let's make the difference.
