$250,000 was spent by the federal government in 2009 to maintain Chicago’s Confederate monument. We envision a world where that money is spent improving school conditions, paving roads, and providing affordable housing and childcare to all. We demand that not ONE MORE CENT of OUR tax dollars be spent on this pillar to white supremacy.
