Our not for profit center that we share with 2 other NGOs was breached by breaking out a conference room window. We were fortunate damage and theft was minimal because of a great building layout with multiple locked doors.

If you can’t physically make it to the neighborhood today, you can help South Shore businesses with the financial costs of cleaning up and repairing some of the physical damage by clicking here. More on ABJ Center is here.

If you know of other constructive ways to help, let us know in comments. Thanks.

I know there were people cleaning up downtown Aurora this morning, not sure if that is still ongoing at this point or not.

The best way to help is to make sure that the conditions that led to this weekend won’t be repeated. If you live in Chicago, contact your alderman, demand that they defund the police and pass O2019-8058 to create an elected police oversight board.
