Honkforjusticechicago

Participation Details

Every day, we protest at a different intersection on the North Side of Chicago from 4 - 6 pm, occupying the sidewalks, waving signs, chanting, making noise, and getting drivers to honk their car horns in support. This event is family friendly. Kids are more than welcome!

Bring signs and anything that makes noise (pots and pans, whistles, musical instruments). We have a limited stock of premade signs, as well as poster board and markers. We have water, snacks, masks, and basic first aid supplies on hand. Helium black balloons are also a great thing to bring for children (and even adults!). Sign suggestions include - "Black Lives Matter," "Silence is Violence," "Black is Beautiful," and "Justice for George Floyd."

When you arrive at the intersection, please look for volunteers in yellow jackets. You can show up at Honk for Justice anytime between 4 and 6 pm, but we encourage you to attend our 10 minute training, which begins promptly at 4 pm.

We protest RAIN OR SHINE. We encourage all participants to wear a mask and practice social distancing.

Although we are not directly affiliated with the Black Lives Matter organization, we ask that you support the great work that they do to organize us all around racial justice. Donate at blacklivesmatter.com.

About the Performance

This protest performance was devised by Jocelyn Prince and her wonderful white volunteers, including Madison Kamp, Thom Cox, and David O'Donnell. We have been protesting daily since June 2, 2020. The show will go until we have justice for the murder of George Floyd and police reform. Jocelyn is sick and tired of being sick and tired, and this political art piece is dedicated to the memory of Fannie Lou Hamer. She is also inspired by the performance art of Damali Ayo and Tricia Hersey.
