Community organizing gets the goods!
"Yesterday Reps from Elephant Rebellion, Kuumba Lynx, KINETIC, CGCT, Asian Americans Advancing Justice, and Connect Force took action in support of the Burge Torture Reparations Ordinance by getting Harry Osterman, the Alderman of the 48th Ward (Who was a part of the John's Street Dedication and Murals) to be the 29th Alderperson to sign on to the Ordinance that we've never been so close to getting passed to get some Justice for the 110+ Black Men Tortured into wrongful convictions, their families and their communities that were and continue to be attacked by the decades of Torture of the Chicago Police. This was an important victory in a long hard fight many have carried from the men behind bars, their mothers and other family members, lawyers, organizations and individuals who have taken action for Justice. JVN was a strong force behind us." '- Jacinda Bullie
