Damon Williams of the two-year-old Let Us Breathe Collective in Chicago speaks at Freedom Square, across from the police department’s Homan Square facility where there are allegations of thousands of people tortured and detained without access to attorneys.

The Freedom Square space is providing food and donated products, plus lessons and community building with people from the area and all over the city. They are using #FreedomSquare on Twitter.

Let Us Breathe wants to model a society that is less violent, and one that spends resources on education, mental health, healthcare and other services and community development rather than police.

Let Us Breathe collective was birthed from the shooting of an unarmed teen, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri.

They want people to come and join the conversation, to sign a petition against adding police to hate-crimes laws, and they need supplies: ice, food, sleeping bags, water, etc.
