#AllBlackLivesMatter The demands of our last action were not met in full so we restate and escalate them and keep the feet of our oppressors to the fire: We Demand: -Justice* for Tony McDade

-Justice* for Breonna Taylor -Justice* for George Floyd

-That the Chicago City Council defund CPD by 75% and reinvest those funds into social services and community programs

-That police be banned from marching in Pride festivities indefinitely

-Immediate release of all protesters from previous BLM actions

*Justice being the abolishment of the system that took these lives and that restorative systems grow in their stead.
