As an addition, flood these CPD stations with calls to demand they immediately release protesters. Cook County Jail is a hot spot for covid-19 - protesters are in danger and will continue to be until they are released.

Hey guys chicago essentially trapped protestors downtown by cutting off all public transit in the loop / downtown area and raising the bridges that allow cars and walk ways out of the loop (downtown is kinda like an island due to the Chicago River), then threatening people with arrest if they’re not gone by curfew (which was announced 30 minutes before it began - and when I left earlier it took 45 minutes to get out of downtown by foot due to the mayors closures.) it’s quite literally impossible. one bridge is open AFAIK but only to the north side. Chicago Freedom School is funding ubers to help ppl get home and sheltering those who can’t
