On the ground from the Revolution Club, Chicago The election of Trump and the racist police neighborhood of Mount Greenwood in Chicago—this is AmeriKKKa 2016 NO! WE REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS!!! THIS MUST BE STOPPED NOW! WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

What Trump actually means by “make America great again” was given living and horrifying expression on the streets of the Chicago neighborhood of Mt. Greenwood. Mt. Greenwood is an almost all-white neighborhood on the Southside of Chicago. It is home to many cops and firefighters.

What is playing out in Mt. Greenwood should be a loud siren further awakening people in Chicago and around the country to the immediate and urgent stakes posed by Trump’s election.
In the days surrounding the presidential election, crowds of rabid racists, including many off-duty cops and their families, clearly on the offensive as a result of Trump’s campaign, are out to violently restore white supremacy as part of the larger fascist project.
