A daily mutual aid project serving people being released from Cook County Jail, their loved ones, and the surrounding community.hopp.bio/chicommunityja… Chicago, ILJoined January 2021
Due to the changing nature of this app, Chicago Community Jail Support is going inactive here. Please find us elsewhere on the internet (our website, !nsta, Bl*esky or Thr*ads) or at our tent outside Cook County Jail! 💕
We’re still hosting our supply drive, seeking:
* coats (size L-3XL)
* thick hoodies/sweaters
* gloves
* hand warmers
* winter hats
* warm calf/knee-length socks
Drop off Thursdays 7-9pm at our table outside Cook County Jail or DM us for other drop-off addresses around the city💜
There is a blanket drive in a few weeks for refugees at a northside shelter.
Please gather and drop off car-seats and blankets you have or purchase some, so that asylum seekers can stay warm and safe in the coming fall months
It's the last night of the DNC and hundreds of jail support volunteers are ready for whatever needs come up. Not too late to support this work financially! All leftover funds will go to @ChiCommunityJS, which ensures that our support goes beyond isolated protests
@slammychowder In Chicago, we're also blessed to have @ChiCommunityJS which has a daily presence outside the Cook County Jail to meet anyone who's released and provide them with similar resources/support
‼️ SEEKING DONATIONS FOR JAIL SUPPORT FOLLOWING ARRESTS AT THE DNC ‼️
Volunteers are supporting protestors as they’re released with water, food, hygiene items, transportation, etc. Any excess donations will go to CCJS for daily jail support needs.
Venmo is @swarshell

This evening, Chicago Police arrested more than 70 people protesting the Democratic National Convention in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
