*Chicago, IL* — On March 14th, from 11am – 3pm CT, on the eve of the
Illinois democratic primary vote, airplanes will fly across the Chicago
skyline towing banners linking Hillary Clinton with unpopular Chicago Mayor
Rahm Emanuel and State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez, with whom Emanuel covered
up the 2014 Chicago PD’s killing of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald while
campaigning for his own re-election.

“Tell me who you know, and I’ll tell you who you are,” said Tess Raser, an
organizer with Assata’a Daughters, the group coordinating today’s banner
actions. “To this day, Hillary Clinton has yet to condemn Chicago’s
anti-black mayor. Mayor Emmanuel has conspired with State’s Attorney
Alvarez during his own re-election campaign to cover up the police murder
of Laquan McDonald —a life that to Emmanuel, Alvarez, and Clinton did not
matter.  Any politician who supports Emanuel should consider themselves
implicated in his misconduct. Anti-black politicians are not welcome in
Chicago whether they are running for State’s Attorney or President of The
United States.”

*Planes will be visible in the Chicago sky from 11am to 3pm CT*
