2. TUESDAY 12/16: FIVE-MILE MARCH AND CITY HALL VIGIL TO DEMAND CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL PASS REPARATIONS ORDINANCE

FOR SURVIVORS OF CPD TORTURE

On Tuesday, December 16th, Chicago Torture Justice Memorials (CTJM), We Charge Genocide, Project NIA and Amnesty International will hold a five-mile march, then deliver a petition, reveal a list of nice & naughty alderpeople and hold and a memorial at City Hall to demand passage of the Reparations Ordinance for Chicago Police Torture Survivors.

On October 16, 2013, a Reparations Ordinance for Chicago Police Torture Survivors was introduced in Chicago’s City Council. It has already garnered the support of 26 alderpeople, with only one additional vote needed to pass the ordinance. Passage of the ordinance is also supported by the United Nations Committee Against Torture.

For the full text of the Reparations Ordinance see: http://chicagotorture.org/#reparations

Facebook Event: facebook.com/events/340660236117395

Schedule:

12 PM / Police Headquarters: Chicagoans will march about five miles from Chicago Police Headquarters,

at 3510 S. Michigan Ave, to City Hall, at 121 N. LaSalle.

2 PM / City Hall, 5th Floor: Marchers will deliver a petition with over 45,000 signatures in support of

the Reparations for Chicago Police Torture Survivors ordinance. They will create

a public memorial outside the Mayor's office and call for Mayor Emanuel and the

Chicago City Council to pass the ordinance before the municipal elections this February.

Reparations for Chicago Police Torture Survivors Demands:

1. Finance Committee Chair Alderman Ed Burke must schedule a hearing in January.

2. The ordinance currently before the City Council must be put to a vote in January.

3. Mayor Emanuel needs to express his support for the reparations ordinance.

3. CONTACT YOUR ALDERPERSON!

Find your alderperson: http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/about/wards.html

If you are represented by one of the alderpeople not (yet) supporting the reparations ordinance, here's what you can do to help:

1. Call your ward office & ask why your alderperson is not yet supporting the ordinance. Let them know 26 others

already are.

2. Organize others in your ward to meet directly with your alderperson to let them know you want them to sign on

as a co-sponsor.

3. If they still refuse to commit, organize creative actions in your ward to put pressure on them. Do it this month

& in January.

4. ABOUT THE REPARATIONS FOR CHICAGO POLICE TORTURE SURVIVORS ORDINANCE

Among other demands, the ordinance would require the city to administer financial reparations to all Burge torture survivors who are unable to sue for monetary damages because the statute of limitations for their claims has expired. The proposed ordinance would also provide all torture survivors and their families with tuition-free education at City Colleges; create a center on the South Side of Chicago that would provide psychological counseling, health care services and vocational training to those affected by law enforcement torture and abuse; and require Chicago Public Schools to teach about these cases and sponsor the construction of public torture memorials. It also asks the city’s leaders to issue a formal apology to those who were tortured and their communities.
