JOIN US TO KICK OFF THE 'Street Youth Rise Up' Campaign: To change the way Chicago sees and treats its homeless, home-free and street based youth who do what they have to do to survive. We are Marching because: -Our Bad Encounter Line findings show that girls and transgender girls and all street based young people in Chicago are being denied help from systems set up to serve our needs! - To alert others that we are tired of being criminalized for our survival in this city! The march will lead into a Speak Out where we will have many youth come to share their talents and voices. We demand accountability for the criminalization of our survival, and require the basic necessities that helping systems are not providing our community! |
