50501 Chicago is now Activists in Resistance (AiR)!

50501 Chicago is now Activists in Resistance (AiR)!

In honor of our first year of existence as a chapter, we, the members of 50501 Chicago, are happy to announce that we are changing our name to better align with our mission here in the Windy City.

Since its early days, Chicago has been an epicenter of organized activism in America, from the labor movement of the late 19th century, to the civil rights movement of the mid-20th century, through to the current struggle against our nation’s continuing slide towards fascism.

As grassroots organizers, we stand on the shoulders of organizing elders in Chicago’s movement spaces. Our city boasts a well-established activism infrastructure, from labor unions and civil rights organizations to rapid response, mutual aid, and direct action groups. As AiR, we seek to integrate ourselves into these spaces by supporting these groups’ efforts according to their self-identified needs. We aim to lift up these organizations by strengthening existing coalitions to propel Chicago forward in our fight against fascism through community building.

Together in solidarity, we will make Chicago a better place for everyone! We are the AiR!

Rifles aren’t necessarily “slower to load,” are you speaking specifically of bolt-action rifles with this? It’s about the same amount of time and steps to load a magazine into an AR15 rifle as it is a semi-auto pistol. Unfortunately that also makes them effective in an unlawful mass shooting situation.

yeah but the rifle holds only a few rounds. so the time it takes per bullet is significantly longer for a rifle.
