‼️OAK LAWN RALLY RECAP + MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR JUNE 5! EXACTLY ONE YEAR SINCE MUROD KURDI WAS KILLED BY LEANNE CUSACK‼️ 40 protesters came to show their support for Murod Kurdi and his family. During the Police and Fire Commission Meeting, protesters disrupted the meeting with speakers calling out the OLPD on their malpractices. Murod Kurdi was a 28 year old Palestinian-American who was struck by driver, Leanne Cusack. Cusack was drinking before she struck Murod with her car in front of his house and continued to drive 2 blocks before stopping and calling her boyfriend, instead of 911. Instead of OLPD following protocol for Cusack’s refusal of a breathalyzer, which would have been a forced blood draw, OLPD let her go home without charge for Murod’s murder with only a speeding ticket. THE NEXT OAK LAWN RALLY WILL BE JUNE 5! EXACTLY ONE YEAR SINCE MUROD KURDI WAS KILLED BY LEANNE CUSACK! For this reason, we are asking the Illinois Attorney General’s office to take immediate action by launching an independent and comprehensive investigation into the OLPD’s repeated violations of the rights of Arabs and other communities of color. In addition, the cops involved in the racist decision to let Murod’s killer go must be held accountable along with the 3 racist cops who beat Hadi Abuatelah nearly to death in July 2022. #Justice4Murod #Justice4Hadi

‼️WEDNESDAYS RECAP‼️ 30 protesters came to show their support for Murod Kurdi and his family. During the Police and Fire Commission Meeting, protesters shut it down through a mic check and chanting. AAAN, @uspcn, @caarprnow and allies will continue to protest police malpractice of Oak Lawn Police Department (OLPD). Murod Kurdi was a 28 year old Palestinian-American who was struck by driver, Leanne Cusack. Cusack was drinking before she struck Murod with her car in front of his house and continued to drive 2 blocks before stopping and calling her boyfriend, instead of 911. Instead of OLPD following protocol for Cusack’s refusal of a breathalyzer, which would have been a forced blood draw, OLPD let her go home without charge for Murod’s murder with only a speeding ticket. For this reason, we are asking the Illinois Attorney General’s office to take immediate action by launching an independent and comprehensive investigation into the OLPD’s repeated violations of the rights of Arabs and other communities of color.
