Open Letter to Alliance Members and the Movement on Supporting the Protecting Chicago Budget: We Need to Tax the Rich!
“This is a very important fight and it opens the doors of progress for all the various struggles we’re involved in, particularly the struggle for community control of the police and justice for those who have lost loved ones to police crimes, to address the problems of torture survivors, the struggle to keep our community safe and not be subjected to military occupation and the gestapo tactics of ICE. All of these issues pivot around this budget.”
How the Enemies of Our Movement Are Using the Kirk Assassination
There have been many analyses that have been put forth that Trump and his minions represent an attempt at a fascist takeover at worst, and a turning back of the clock in terms of the trade union movement, the women’s movement, the Black liberation movement, every progressive movement that has occurred in the United States over the last couple of centuries at best. They’re attempting to turn back the clock on all of those movements to bring us to a point where we have no democratic rights whatsoever to organize and protest for systemic change or the progressive elimination of the status quo.
JUSTICE FOR Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez!
The Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression condemns in no uncertain terms the brutal murder of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez at the hands of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officers in Franklin Park, IL. Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez was a loving father and husband, ripped from the lives of his family and community like so many of our loved ones have been ripped from our lives and forced to suffer in immigration detention.
Statement by the Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (CAARPR) on Trump’s Threats to Deploy Federal Troops to Chicago
The Trump train is coming to town and we need to stop it in its tracks. The President’s threats to bring the National Guard to Chicago are a clear, blatant attack on the Black community and the immigrant community. That’s what this is aimed at, repressing Black communities under the guise of fighting crime and repressing immigrant communities by implementing mass deportations and violating the right to due process of law.
A Call to the Movement: Defend our gains won through struggle, and defend the elected officials who ally with us
We stand with all progressives who stand with us. We are part of a broad united front against Trump, as well. Even those we disagree with; we don’t unite with right wingers or billionaires against them.
For those who have gotten it confused, we call on them to get back on the right side of the barricades.
