Action 2: Stop Fake Clinics Rally and March
Action 1: Surveillance and Public Safety Event 7/13
Join the Erase the Database Coalition for an evening of collective study around surveillance and public safety. Surveillance systems intervene in our economic, social, and cultural lives at an accelerating rate. This convening invites attendees to explore criminalization and its relationship to the Chicago gang database and other surveillance systems. We will discuss how we interact with forms of surveillance, and how they impact our communities.
From public space to the workplace, this event seeks to surface emerging tensions between surveillance, human rights, and data justice. Through this event, we hope to attend to community concerns about the harms of surveillance while also inviting feedback and insight about where we go from here. As communities chart new paths toward just and sustainable safety for Chicago and beyond, we hope you will join us.
This event is free! Please register so we can keep a capacity count. Masks are required at this event.
Attend the Surveillance and Public Safety Event on Thursday, July 13 at 6:30 pm.

Action 2: Stop Fake Clinics Rally and March
When it comes to abortion access, no state is truly "safe"--including Illinois. In fact, there are nearly 100 anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in our state lying to pregnant people about abortion, emergency contraception, and reproductive health.
Join Abortion Access Front (AAF), Reproductive Transparency Now (RTN), and a coalition of pro-abortion organizations in Chicago to bring awareness to the growing public health threat from CPCs and highlight the ongoing advocacy efforts to stop them in their tracks. NEVER STOP STOPPIN’ FAKE CLINICS!
Date: Saturday, July 15th
Start Time: 2:00pm CT
Place: Outside of 8 S. Michigan Ave in The Loop, Chicago. This location is home to one of Chicago's anti-abortion CPCs.
Agenda: There will be a brief rally starting shortly after 2:00pm, followed by a march.
