Today in Chicago: Show Rahm Emanuel it’s Time to Resign

Join progressive activists on Monday to keep the pressure on Rahm Emanuel and Anita Alvarez and send a strong message that it’s time for both of them to resign.

Democratic politicians cannot claim that Black Lives Matter and then act as if their own careers matter more. Every day, the calls grow louder for Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez to resign. People in Chicago and all over the country are outraged at the way these leaders have stood in the way of police accountability and failed to stand with the communities bearing the brunt of police brutality and overreach.

Tens of thousands of CREDO activists have joined local activists and activists from Democracy for America, ColorOfChange, and MoveOn to demand that Emanuel and Alvarez resign. But they seem to think they can ride out the storm.

It’s time to turn up the pressure. This Monday, December 21, our friends at ColorOfChange are working with local activists to deliver your petition signatures directly to Emanuel and Alvarez’ offices in the Loop. Can you join them?

What: Petition delivery demanding that Rahm Emanuel and Anita Alvarez resign.

When: Monday, December 21, 11:00 a.m.

Where:Thompson Center Plaza (corner of Randolph and La Salle Streets), 100 W. Randolph Street Chicago, IL 60601

Details: Meet delivery organizers for a short press conference in the plaza at the Thompson Center, at the corner of Randolph and La Salle Streets, then walk across the street to the Mayor’s Office to deliver petitions urging Rahm Emanuel to resign. Then walk two blocks to Anita Alvarez’s office and deliver petitions urging her to resign.

The people of Chicago are taking to the streets because they know that Rahm Emanuel and Anita Alvarez have spent years shielding violent, killer cops from justice. They understand that until both resign, it will not be possible to fix Chicago’s police department and ensure everyone gets justice.

Join CREDO and our allies from Chicago and across America to deliver your message and your signatures directly to Rahm Emanuel and Anita Alvarez.
