A prayer vigil at Grace Church of Logan Square, 7 pm, Sept. 18th.

Following the tragic shootings of Dexter Reed in Chicago and Sonya Massey in Springfield, the Community Renewal Society is organizing our “We Won’t Bury the Slain” Day of Action on September 18 in partnership with Urban Village Church, Chicago.

During this day, the following CRS member congregations will hold a collective prayer vigil at Grace Church of Logan Square at 7 PM CT to honor the countless victims of excessive force:

· Urban Village Church, Wicker Park
· Urban Village Church, Edgewater
· Urban Village Church, Hyde Park-Woodlawn
· Urban Village Church-West

Join us at the prayer vigil as CRS continues to demand police accountability, commemorate the lives lost to police brutality, and call the faith community to hold officers accountable. Together, we can elevate Black, Brown, white, and LGBTQIA+ solidarity in our collective pursuit of police accountability.

CRS is a leader in several coalitions, including Empowering Communities for Public Safety and Free2Move, that desire to win greater oversight of the Chicago Police Department, and we want our member congregations to lead in action with us!
