On Friday, June 10 there will be a Gala Reception at Navy Pier for the U.S. Conference of Mayors
hosted by Mayor Daley.

While Daley brags about "his" city to his mayoral buddies from around the country, we will present the true picture of Chicago: a grafting mayor who gets taxpayer money funneled into his own campaign fund and the pockets of his cronies, while his police beat up and torture city residents.

On February 21st Howard Morgan was shot 25 times by white Chicago police officers, including several times in the back. He remains hand-cuffed to his hospital bed with $2 million bond, deemed a “flight risk” despite his nearly fatal injuries and his barely being able to walk.

Morgan is but the latest in a long history of victims of Chicago police violence. The City has been cited numerous times by Amnesty International and other respected human rights organizations for police torture and abuse of suspects to get "confessions." The City itself documented this torture in its "Goldston Report" and when it fired Cmdr. Jon Burge for torture in February 1993.

On Friday, June 10th, please join us as we demand...

JUSTICE FOR HOWARD MORGAN and all other victims of police brutality!

ASSEMBLE: 5:30 PM SHARP, Friday, June 10 at
the Buckingham Fountain (Grant Park, at the intersection of Congress and Columbus)

MARCH to Navy Pier, arriving at about 6:15 PM.
