Calls to Action & Solidarity THIS WEEK: Stop General Iron, #BootBoeing, Earth Day Student Protest

[AUA Community]

Dear AUA Community,

I hope everyone is holding up well and taking in this beautiful week of resistance in Chicago. Bumping a few community actions happening this week. 

 

Stop General Iron Press Conference on Thursday, April 21, 1:30 pm at 400 W Superior St

Join Southeast Side community members for this press conference outside of an Administrative Hearing as RMG/General Iron request an Administrative Hearing to reverse the City of Chicago final decision not to issue GIs final permit. 

#BootBoeing Off Earth Action on Thursday, April 21, 4-6 pm, at North Boeing Gallery in Millennium Park (off Randolph & Michigan)

Join the #BoeingArmsGenocide campaign on for an art-based protest against war profiteer Boeing. They are inviting community to resist war & militarism and envision a world where we have divested from arms dealers, such as Boeing. We are imagining what a world free of war profiteers will look like, where we have invested in our free futures, and in life-giving resources like education, housing, community gardens, and clean energy. 

Earth Day Student Protest on Friday, April 22, at 2:30pm, starting at Buckingham Fountain

Join Chicago youth and students for an Earth Day protest in front of Buckingham Fountain to support green policies in CPS schools and advocate for change! The policies that they're advocating for range from retrofitting and solarization, to climate education and environmental justice, which will all benefit CPS students and families. Share with your networks and follow @chicagoclimateyouthcoalition on Instagram for more information.

In solidarity,

Ren
