Homan Square Demands

This is a peaceful demonstration with goals and objectives. Here is what we seek to accomplish together through action:

1. Public scrutiny/accountability: We demand a public inspection of Homan Square today.

2. Transparency: We demand that all people arrested in Chicago must be booked immediately upon arrest and given access to a phone with which they can call an attorney.

3) Roundtable discussion: We demand a special meeting be called within 10 days that would allow the public to ask questions of supervising CPD officers about what happens inside Homan Square and other facilities. We have formally submitted this request to the News Affairs division within the CPD and we urge them to approve our request immediately.

4) Information availability: We demand that a poster be placed at all CPD facilities that informs people of their rights and of phone numbers they can call to have a pro bono attorney present at the station. The poster must include information for contacting First Defense Legal Aid, 1(800)
529-7374, 1(800) LAW-REP4, and other pro bono nonprofit legal providers.
