A rally was held Friday evening in the Chicago neighborhood of Logan Square, demanding justice for 13-year-old shooting victim Adam Toledo.
The crowd congregated in Logan Square Park, where several of the speakers called for defunding and abolishing the Chicago Police Department. Other speakers presented demands for rent control, better jobs, and increased funding for youth-oriented social programs. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, organizers expressed that these things could be accomplished with a reduction of funding for the Chicago Police Department.
