The 73rd Annual United States Conference of Mayors is coming to Chicago June 10-14, where the
City Council voted to condemn the USA PATRIOT ACT. Yet on
Monday, June 13th, at the
Chicago Hilton & Towers, the Conference of Mayors has invited two of the chief enforcers of the PATRIOT Act to present:
Michael Chertoff, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, and US
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
DePaul Students Against the War is calling for a rally outside of the
Hilton (722 S Michigan Ave) from 8:30am until the mayors break for lunch at noon. We feel that some of the highest officials of the Bush Regime whose positions are to enforce the repression of Muslims, activists and others, including the deportations of the undocumented, must not be given a grand welcome to our working class, immigrant, and militant city.
We are calling for all concerned in the Chicagoland area to come out with signs, noisemakers, and spirit, and any groups or organizations to please contact us to endorse this demonstration.
Our next meeting is Wednesday June 1st, at DePaul's Student Center (Kon Belden between Kenmore & Sheffield) in the Cultural Center on the first floor.
