How to Demand Justice for Adam Toledo: Where to Help & Donate

Courtesy
On March 29, police in Chicago, Illinois chased 13-year old Adam Toledo down an alley and shot him, killing the unarmed seventh grader as he raised his hands. The recently released body camera footage shows police demanding that the young boy show them his hands. When he does, the cops fired.
This murder comes at a time when demanding justice for police-perpetuated killings is at an all-time high, with the murder trial of Derek Chauvin ongoing in Minneapolis, and the killing of 20-year-old Daunte Wright by Officer Kim Porter just days ago.
In a press conference on April 2, Toledo s mother, who was not aware her son was killed until two days after the shooting, demanded answers from the Chicago Police Department. They had a lot of options, she told reporters while visibly emotional, indicating that officers could have shot him in his legs, his arms…I don t know, but not kill my baby. ....

Chicago area gun dealers say record sales since Jan. 6 driven by fear

Pat Nabong/Sun-Times
SPRINGFIELD Gun dealers say they are selling more firearms than ever in the Chicago area since the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and they predict sales will shatter the records set during last year’s civil unrest and in the early days of the coronavirus panic.
“It’s the busiest you could ever imagine. It’s been lines around the block, out the door, around my store every day since March,” said Jeff Regnier, owner of Kee Firearms and Training in far southwest suburban New Lenox.

The Illinois Legislature has a chance to save lives by reducing gun violence. But it must act quickly.
The local firearms toll is staggering. In Chicago alone, 769 people were killed in 2020, mostly by guns. More than 4,000 were shot. Just over this past holiday weekend, 30 were shot and six were killed. Gun violence also has increased in cities around the state.
Illinois does not have to meekly accept such horrific mayhem.
