Y'all we have one more day to make 19 presents happen. Please help if you can.
Tomorrow is the last day of this holiday toy drive for Chicago families impacted by ICE. 41 of the 60 kids who were registered have had a present purchased.
Organizers are hoping every child and family can receive a gift. Let's help them reach their goal!

40 dozen tamales, over $1,300 cash to street vendors, and food to the community.
Highlight of the night: spotted a cotton candy vendor outside a grocery store so we bought everything he had and sent him home with a dozen tamales.
This is mutual aid.

With ICE back in Chicago terrorizing our communities and kidnapping our neighbors, we called an emergency buyout this morning. We bought out 6 vendors, over $1,000, filled a Love Fridge and lots of food to homies on the street. We keep us safe. ✊🏽

I see there is no mention of how this will be enforced by state police, who have been assisting federal agents in their kidnapping scheme. What is the governor doing to ensure the top cop is on board? And if the top cop isn’t on board, will he be replaced?
