In response to the alarming surge in incidents involving intimidation, harassment, doxxing, and censorship against individuals who bravely speak out on the Gaza conflict, we are delighted to unveil an unprecedented collaboration between three stalwart defenders of civil liberties: CAIR-Chicago, ACLU-Illinois, and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office (CCSAO). This groundbreaking partnership aims to fortify the protection of individuals advocating for justice and equity in the face of escalating challenges.

In an era where the digital landscape has become a battleground for the exchange of ideas, this collaboration underscores our shared commitment to preserving the principles of free speech and the right to dissent. Together, we aim to create a space where individuals can express their opinions on critical issues, such as the Gaza conflict, without fear of reprisal.
