Black Lives Matter Chicago

Catalpa Avenue in Andersonville is the latest addition to the city's shared street program intended to give people more space during the coronavirus pandemic.

As protests against police violence continue in Kenosha, hundreds of Chicagoans gathered in support of Jacob Blake, who was shot several times over the weekend.

Twenty-two artists collaborated on the mural on Catalpa Avenue.

The creator of a viral video told thousands a 15-year-old boy was killed by police Sunday. The misinformation — and the police response on the scene in Englewood — may have led to civil unrest Downtown, activists said.

Artists will be paid for their time working on the mural.

Each letter in the massive mural was painted by a different Chicago artist.

The mural has the words “Black Lives Matter” painted in Chicago flag blue on Jeffery Boulevard between 70th and 71st streets.

A GoFundMe to help Boyd raised nearly $84,000 in less than two days before halting donations.

Activist Miracle Boyd of GoodKids MadCity was injured by police in an attack caught on video. "You beat people up over a statue? You rough them up over a statue?" Ald. Jeanette Taylor said.

Protesters nearly toppled a Christopher Columbus statue in Grant Park before police intervened.

Anti-Racist Andersonville was formed in response to a number of racist incidents in the neighborhood, including the writing of "Hang Obama" in chalk along Clark Street.

In addition to the racist flyers, someone defaced and stole signs in the neighborhood that supported the Black Lives Matter movement.

Cook County Public Defender Amy Campanelli and activists are suing the city, saying the move to deny arrestees a phone call and access to an attorney violates state and constitutional law.

“History has been not been kind to minorities in this country, which is why it is time to embrace each other in solidarity," the Little Village Chamber of Commerce executive director said.

These organizers are supporting protesters fighting for Black lives and providing relief to communities impacted by looting and coronavirus.

The employees protested after the shop's owner demanded they remove signs supporting Black Lives Matter earlier this week.

“I’m just beyond disgusted by his behavior. I can’t wait to call this out next week in City Council to his face,” one alderman said.

More than 50 people on the West and South Sides are now taking shifts to safeguard their own communities as part of a new block-watching program.

The march is scheduled for Thursday afternoon at Horner Park.
