For Immediate Release!<br>
Please Forward!<br><br>
Oral Arguments in the historic and precedent-setting qui tam and<br>
slavery disclosure lawsuit, which is captioned City of Chicago ex
rel.<br>
Bob Brown v. Archdiocese of Chicago, et al.<br>
will be heard at 10:00 am, on Friday, November 9, 2007, in Courtroom<br>
2607 at the Daley Center, 45 West Washington Street, in Chicago.
Judge<br>
Rita M. Novak presiding.<br><br>
As you are perhaps aware, Defendants, the Archdiocese of Chicago,<br>
Willis of Illinois (Lloyd's of London's partner), American Airlines<br>
(British Airlines' partner), United Airlines (Air Canada's and Air<br>
Iberia's partners), Maximus and Unison-Maximus (managers of airport<br>
concessions space including Duty Free, McDonalds, etc.), JP Morgan<br>
Chase and Bank One, Bank of America, ABN AMRO and LaSalle Bank,
and<br>
Citigroup are accused of (1) commiting hundreds of counts of perjury<br>
on their Economic Disclosure Statements, which include the Slavery
Era<br>
Disclosure Affidavit, and (2) submitting false claims on almost $5<br>
billion in contracts with the City of Chicago. We demand full<br>
compliance with the Chicago Slavery Era Disclosure Ordinance, $15<br>
billion in civil penalties and fines, and legal fees.<br><br>
Similar violations of Slavery Era Disclosure Ordinances have also
been<br>
committed by these Defendants, their affiliated entities, and other<br>
contractors, in Philadelphia, Detroit, Wayne County, Milwaukee, Los<br>
Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Richmond,
California.<br><br>
Defendants submitted a Joint Motion for Dismissal of our lawsuit in<br>
Chicago. The Court has been fully briefed by all parties, and oral<br>
arguments on this dismisal motion will be heard on November 9th. You<br>
will not want to miss this Hearing!<br><br>
We invite all of our supporters and friends to join us at the Daley<br>
Center on November 9, 2007 and to bear witness to this historic<br>
encounter in our centuries long and unyielding struggle for<br>
accountability for the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, slavery, and<br>
slave-like practices and conditions, including colonialism and<br>
settler-colonialism, racism and white supremacy, segregation and<br>
apartheid.<br><br>
Without your past and continuing support, we could not have filed
this<br>
lawsuit and pursued it this far. Victory is certain!<br><br>
For those of you who can not come to Chicago, please send us an
email,<br>
no later than 5:00 pm EST on Monday, November 5, 2007, expressing
your<br>
solidarity and support. We will copy all emails received, bind and<br>
file them with the Court on Tuesday.<br><br>
