Demonstration to support survivors of sexual assault, protest rape culture and police violence, Slutwalk Chicago 2018, takes place for its eighth consecutive year. This year’s Slutwalk Chicago gathering will take place at Water Tower (800 N. Michigan Ave) on Saturday, July 28, 2018 at noon. Slutwalk Chicago 2018 aims in large part to support Lee Dewey, a participant at last year’s Slutwalk Chicago. Chicago Police arrested Lee Dewey at the Chicago Slutwalk 2017 march, which was the first time there were any arrests in the history of Slutwalk Chicago. Lee, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, is being falsely accused of biting a police officer and facing felony charges. These false charges are based on transphobia and HIV stigma. This event is endorsed by Support Ho(se) Chi, The Sex Workers Outreach Project- Chicago chapter, Chicago Area LGBTQA+ Liberation Network, and Community Cave.
