This is a drawing I created after I was released from the police station in Broadview IL. We were arrested for blocking the street outside the Detention Center. We were able to stop deportations for that day. But there's more to do.

Mural in progress white washed by the City of Chicago
Artist Gabriel Villa's Bridgeport mural was whitewashed by the City of Chicago's. This was a commissioned mural. He wants to bring his situation to the press. If you know of anyone contact him. Below is the email I received from him today as well as photos of the mural.
------------
This morning Thursday May 14, 2009 in the neighborhood of Bridgeport my mural in progress was white washed, Graffiti Blasted by the City of Chicago. Most likely by the 11th Ward Alderman Balcer, at the moment I am uncertain if he gave the orders to eliminate the mural.
Does anyone out there have MEDIA contacts that can bring this matter to the public? This commissioned mural was part of Version Fest 09’. I had permission to paint on the wall.
