I got arrested yesterday! (real drop off from being a corporate law firm associate five months ago. or upgrade.) I was blocking vehicles leaving from ICE’s Broadview, IL, staging ground and de facto detention center at 1930 Beach St. full statement (for now) below.
Thank you for resisting evil actions of this administration
Huge upgrade - congratulations!
Not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for your service!
all villains wear masks
likely more on Substack this week. barring major changes in legal posture, I’ll be back (NOT blocking vehicles) at 1930 Beach St, Broadview, IL from 7-9 on Friday, September 5, joined by @qasimrashid.com cohen489.substack.com

Well done! #FightBack
RachelPower. Maybe a step 🪜 up
You’re spot-on! Action begets action. Now all the Democrats need to see this!! I’m very sorry that you’re going through this. I don’t know you but based on your post/account of the sad situation: this will only advance your future. Rough roads lead to the greatest destinations. 👊🏼
Joining you.

☺️

@govpritzker.illinois.gov
Rock on! Post if you need bail. 😁
Go girl..
Thank you for your bravery! Stay safe. We need you in this fight. Godspeed!
Nothing wrong with getting arrested
Followed you because this deserves a follow!
Good for you for standing on your principles.
Hell yeah girl
I’m not a theist, but a prayer vigil would produce powerful images/message
Thank you for your efforts - definitely an upgrade imho.
1000s more Americans should have been there with you. Only mass action can stop the fascists.
Congrats on getting pinched Subscribed on Substack Enjoy the weekend
📌
Keep fighting. Excellent work
Thank you! 👏👏
Good Trouble thank you
Yall should ask the natuonal lawyers guild to send legal observers for your protests!
Thanks for doing this. Why not on the sidewalk? Can't arrest for that as surely pedestrian >> exiting van? Strollers back and forth..
Sincere question, is just showing up on Friday the best way to plug in? I've protested many times, but I'll admit I'm not really comfortable getting arrested at the moment. I want to support these efforts, I'm nearby, and the more people there the safer those getting arrested are.
it’s up there! the goal of Friday is solidarity not blocking vehicles :) but another good option to plug into this work in Chi is showing up at 101 Ida B Wells’ south entrance around 9a on Mondays, where people engage in courtwatch in city limits
You are a hero.
Thank you for punching Nazis.
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏 Yes! People with privilege need to be bearing the risk! 100%!
Here's hoping you join @ij.org.
us foods is on Beach street they are next door neighbors to the jesus nazis
I get the feeling you want people to go to 1930 Beach St in Broadview Il from 7-9am on Friday Fuck Broadview
Champion! 🎖️💪
More power to you ❤️💪
We are not worthy. 💙✌️☮️🕊️
Thank you!
Oh! You’re the Skadden associate! Well done.
Walk up to their vehicles and stick an AirTag on the roof or somewhere else where it can’t be found easily. Then track the vehicle’s movements on your iPhone and alert people in advance. Make them waste their time.
Thank you!
I'm so sorry this happened to you
Seriously! It looks like half of these Gestapo Nazi's live on a diet of Twinkies and chocolate milk.
In your video, I see peaceful protestors, masked gang members, and the police arresting the wrong people. Please accept the expression of my gratitude and admiration.
Sounds like the Illinois State Police should be arresting people.
Well done you!!
🤙
Bravo Rachel, being brave and fierce against oppression is a real insight into your depth of character and values,
✊🏼
Good for you! Glad you pushed through it and understood the assignment.
Thank you Rachel for being one of the few who are protesting against this fascism. We need people to come out in droves to stop what is happening in this country. I know they are afraid, but courage needs to overcome the fear in order to keep America free. I still have hope for our country.
