Please participate in a call-in day to persuade the University of Chicago administration to help bring a trauma center to the south side!

Call President of the University of Chicago Robert Zimmer at: (773) 702-8800

And Say:
Hi my name is: ___________________

I live at: _______________________

I am calling to leave a message for President Zimmer.

(They may ask you to send an e-mail, we are emailing also, but please insist that they also take a message, if you insist they will take a message. Here’s the email [email protected])

I am shocked at how the University of Chicago police violently treated peaceful protesters last Sunday who were only asking for a meeting with Sharon O’Keefe, President of the University of Chicago Hospital, to get trauma care on the south side.

I am calling to tell President Zimmer to immediately
1) Drop the charges, and
2) Engage Fearless Leading by the Youth and Students for Health Equity in an ongoing discuss of how to provide trauma care for the south side.

Thank you.

Here is some background about this ongoing struggle.
