Chicago Police could help our effort!!!
On Thursday 02 April 2009, Chicago Police banned together and surrounded City Hall against bringing the Olympics here. For decades, these officers cannot enforce the law when the public polices them and they have to use outdated equipment.
Rookie. Veteran. Retired. Young and old came out to this rally and walked around City Hall. Mayor Daley was never seen.
Many civilians are against bringing the Olympics to Chicago.
The unemployment rate is sky high, we do not have enough officers on the street as it is, the murder rate is #1, the streets in horrible condition, public transit is an absolute mess, businesses are leaving not only the city but state due to the taxes and other fees involved and it drove them away, etc.

About
The Gathering’s Mission
The mission of The Gathering is to build an Intergenerational, movement, rooted in history, cultures and non-violent direct action to heal communities, build collective strength and generate an environment of hope and opportunity.
Civil rights and social justice organizations have come to understand that collective action on a national basis is required to stop child incarceration and challenge the immoral process which perpetuates an unjust justice system. These groups are working under extremely difficult circumstances and many of them with little or no resources. The Gathering is a national movement that creates a coordinated space to 1) fortify relationships between regional groups, 2) support local endeavors and 3) enhance the ongoing organizing of non-violent direct action training. Central to its mission is strengthening our moral environment.
