Community Teach-In!

Join us for an evening with community leaders to talk about Burke's harms and how we can fight back against Cook County prosecutors.

Eileen O'Neill Burke is the head of the State's Attorney's Office, in charge of Chicago's prosecutors. Since she was elected last year, Burke has made systematic changes to...

1) incarcerate more people.
2) expand her power.
3) increase her budget.

We will discuss what the state's attorney is responsible for, the harm Burke's office has caused thus far, and how we can fight back.

Speakers:

Mark Clements, Chicago Torture Justice Center

Matthew McLoughlin, Illinois Network for Pretrial Justice

Naomi Johnson and Austin Segal, Chicago Appleseed
