Southsiders For Peace Stage 'No Peace For Fascists Rally' Saturday At 103rd And Western

CHICAGO — Southsiders for Peace are staging a “No Peace For Fascists” rally this Saturday, July 26. Community members are invited to join the demonstration from 1 to 3 p.m. at 103rd Street and Western Avenue.

Last week’s “Good Trouble” protest marking the fifth anniversary of civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis’s death, was canceled due to rain, so Southsiders for Peace are going to try again on Saturday.

“The lies, corruption, cruelty, ignorance and racism continue to vomit out of the White House …,” Southsiders for Peace said in a statement. “ The list goes on, the outrages against American people.....we're losing count. What we do matters, we'll be joining millions to say NO.”

Participants are asked to refrain from using profanity in their signs. Suggested topics include: “Stand up against the storm-troopers--ICE,” “No more US $$ for genocide in Palestine,” “Defend unions,” and.” Defend the LGBTQ community” – or bring your own.

The group will also have blank poster board, so participants can make their own signs.
