Shouldering Sanctuary | Chicago Community Screening and Discussion

Watch Truth & Documentary’s new film following ICE in Chicago in 2025, and stay for a discussion with community leaders and organizers.

Join us at Haymarket House for the Chicago Premiere screening series of Shouldering Sanctuary (75 min, Truth & Documentary), which follows activists, city council members, businesspeople and artists grappling with what it means for Chicago to be a Sanctuary City during the first year of Trump’s second term. Stay after the screening for a panel discussion with leaders and organizers.

Reserve a spot here! This event is a fundraiser to support immigrant families impacted by ongoing ICE raids. We ask that in lieu of ticket sales, you make a donation to Organized Communities Against Deportation (OCAD)’s mutual aid fundraiser: https://donorbox.org/ocadmutualaid
