The charges against the Holy Name Six have been dropped. This result proves that our collective pressure was necessary to secure justice for their actions. Stay alert as we continue to track how the Archdiocese responds to these issues moving forward.
Three days into the sixth year of the occupation of Iraq, six young people challenged the continuation of business as usual at a time of war crimes during Easter Mass at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. This unjust occupation is illegal and criminal, and their call to stop it was correct and moral. We stand with those who are being vilified and charged with felonies for dramatically staging a die-in while Cardinal George was delivering the homily. Coming from a variety of religious and non-religious viewpoints, we urge the Archdiocese of Chicago and the State
The prosecution wants us to be quiet but we are staying loud. Email the State's Attorney office today to demand they drop the felony charges against these six people.

Disgraceful that the archdiocese would push for this. They should be proud these young people have a conscience.
