On June 26, join Amnesty International, Chicago Torture Justice Memorials, and Chicago Coalition to Shutdown Guantanamo to demand justice for Chicago torture survivors and torture survivors around the world.

We will meet at noon on June 26 at James R Thompson Center to hear from torture survivors, experts on torture and slam poets. Following the rally, we'll march protesting the use of torture and police brutality in Chicago by marching from the James R. Thompson Center to Chicago City Hall, where we will ask the Chicago City Council to pass the Reparations Ordinance for Chicago Police Torture Survivors.
