Friday, Chicago police arrested 5 members of the Chicago Revolution Club. What was the crime of these revolutionaries?
Standing with a banner urging people to defend and exercise their rights, and to learn about, and get into, the movement for revolution. This neighborhood has been the target of what can only be described as “unofficial” martial law for the past several weeks, with police forbidding people to even be on the streets, harassing people for wearing revolutionary tee-shirts or blowing whistles when police appear, carrying out raids on simple family holiday parties, etc. The Revolution Club has vowed to stand with the people and defy this illegal and illegitimate unofficial martial law, and that's what they were doing when the police assaulted them.
Saturday, 7/22, at 3 pm there will be a rally and speak out in Moran Park at 57th and Racine where the arrests took place. If you are in the Chicago area, we urge you to come out and make known to both the community and the authorities that the rights of the Revolution Club and the people in the community to politically organize should not be trampled on by the police.
Here's the video of the arrests of the Revolution Club members: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMQqBLkXH0w .
