Hundreds of immigrant children are being detained in our backyard. Heartland Alliance is a Chicago-based nonprofit org that has historically focused on anti-poverty and immigration issues. Heartland currently operates 5 child detention centers and, until recently, 2 in Des Plaines. Currently, over 350 children are detained by Heartland.

The Chicago DSA Immigrants Rights Committee is fighting back.

Join us to continue demanding that Heartland and CEO David Sinski:
1. immediately cease intaking immigrant children into their detention centers;
2. immediately end their contract with the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) at the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to detain immigrant children;
3. release and reunify the immigrant children in their physical custody with their sponsors and families in the United States as soon as possible without sharing those sponsors’ and families’ biometric data, documentation status, or any other personal information with ICE or any agency that shares information with ICE;
4. pledge to use their resources and power to fight for a true detention-free, deportation-free, and ICE-free zone in Chicago and the Chicagoland area.

This is a nonviolent action. We especially do not want to put participants who may be vulnerable on account of their documentation status at risk of arrest during this action. Ultimately, of course, the relevant authorities are responsible for how they choose to respond to our nonviolent action, but it is important that participants understand that a nonviolent action is what the the Free Heartland Kids campaign is engaging in for this week.

ALL ARE WELCOME! We will have signs, banners, leaflets, petitions, chants, and more depending on the time and day. You can show up with nothing but your principles, and we will have material and information to offer you. If you would like to bring your own signs, banners, leaflets, petitions, chants, and more, we welcome them!

Marriott has rented out its conference space by McCormick Place in Chicago to host a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “trade symposium” Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23rd and 24th.

Show up with Chicago DSA’s Free Heartland Kids campaign to demand Marriott cancel this booking and end its profiteering off the deportation machine!

Just as Chicago’s Heartland Alliance and Maryville Academy accept millions of dollars a year from the federal government to detain and assist in deportations and ICE disappearances of hundreds of immigrant children, Marriott is accepting blood money from CBP to show this arm of the American Gestapo a good time and give them space to put on a trade show for their best ethnic cleansing methods.

We have a different idea of what Chicago hospitality looks like for concentration camp Kommandanten and the people who profiteer off them.

Come join us for any of these 6 time-slots in 2 different locations over the first three days of next week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday):

MONDAY (6/22) 11:30am-1:30pm AND 4:30-6:30pm @ Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile (540 N Michigan Ave)

TUESDAY (6/23) 11:30am-1:30pm AND 4:30-6:30pm @ Marriott Marquis Chicago (2121 S Prairie Ave)

WEDNESDAY (6/24) 11:30am-1:30pm AND 4:30-6:30pm @ Marriott Marquis Chicago (2121 S Prairie Ave)

We’ll be showing up at THE MARRIOTT ON MICHIGAN AVE on Monday, because Marriott as a whole is profiting off this CBP symposium, and we won’t let the company hide this shameful festival down by McCormick Place. Marriott as a whole is stained by this blood money, just as Heartland Alliance and all its programs are.

If Marriott still chooses to give quarter to CBP, we’ll be showing up at THE MARRIOTT BY McCORMICK PLACE on Tuesday and Wednesday to shame the profiteers as they work and to not allow CBP another peaceful welcome into our city.

We’ll also be operating organized call-ins to Marriott to demand they cancel their booking with CBP. More info on this will be posted in the Facebook event page discussion as well as on other CDSA channels.

Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) is having their annual trade symposium in Chicago. On Thursday, CBP held hostage 3 US-citizen children at O’Hare Airport and extorting their parents to put themselves at risk of deportation, and have a long history of separating and terrorizing immigrant families. Marriott hotels also issued a statement earlier in July that they would not allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use their hotels as a detention facilities for immigrants.

Join us to tell CBP, ICE, and DHS there is no room for them Chicago!

November 5, 2016 Joshua Beal was murdered by officers Joseph Treacy and Thomas Derouin while on his way to bury his cousin. Treacy and Derouin were in plainclothes when they stopped the funeral procession and began a confrontation with family members. Treacy and Derouin claimed that they informed the family that they were officers, but witnesses – including 25 911 callers – say they never heard this. June 13, 2019, nearly 3 years later, COPA ruled that Beal’s murder was justified. Between the two of them, they have over 50 complaints against them. CPD has murdered 7 people so far this year, that’s three more than the number of people murdered in 2018. We cannot become complacent. We fought long and hard for justice for Laquan, but the fight doesn’t end with him. We have to keep going. We’re gonna keep fighting. We’re not taking the pressure off.
Join us in demanding justice for Joshua Beal, July 18, 2019 at 6:30 PM for a rally outside of the month’s police board meeting. We’ll start the rally off at 35th and King Drive, then make our way to the police headquarters on 35th and Michigan just before the meeting starts.

Demands:

We demand the case of the murder of Joshua Beal be reopened.
We demand that the killer cops who murdered Joshua – Joseph Treacy and Thomas Derouin – be fired from the force, indicted and convicted.
We demand that Officer Rialmo – the cop responsible for the murders of Bettie Jones and Quintonio LeGrier – be fired, indicted, and convicted.
No more impunity for killer cops! CPAC Now!

Despite winning their FOURTH World Cup title, champion U.S. women soccer players are still paid way less than men–even though the U.S. Men’s team has never won a World Cup. The U.S. Men’s team didn’t even qualify for the last World Cup tournament.

Plus, the U.S. Women’s team also brings in lots of revenue. The U.S. Women’s National team jersey is the best-selling Nike soccer jersey EVER. And the women’s team has brought in more revenue than the men’s team for the past three years.

More than 100,000 people (and growing!) have signed the petition demanding equal pay for the women’s soccer team. Join us on Tuesday, July 16 at 10am and the U.S. Soccer Federation to deliver the petitions and make our demands known!
