Chicago Police Department officers attempted to aggressively drive an SUV towards the hundreds of pedestrians and cyclists on Halsted Street for Riley O'Neil's vigil.
Marshals from @bikegridnow.org and @femnthembikechi.bsky.social protected the pedestrians immediately ahead.

We've received many requests for more Riley stickers. They are coming! 200 was not enough. We can also mail you some stickers. Send us a DM or email (grassroots@gmail) if you would like some. We will find a way to get them to you.
Lake. Big Lake.
Thank you so much for coming out to our Jam and eie-in last night. It warms our hearts to see our community together.
Please give it up for our BGN marshals, @femnthembikechi.bsky.social, @chicagobikesox.com for keeping us safe and moving.

If you appreciate what we do and are able to send us a few bucks, it helps us print materials like those stickers that go right back into the community or purchase vests for our marshals. We have not taken a donation in over *two years.* Eventually, those funds are depleted. Our link is below.

The bike ride and “die-in” in memory of fallen Complete Streets Planner Riley O’Neil was a life-affirming event. "No more people should die in the streets because their lives are not valued as much as driver convenience," said one organizer.

Riley was doored in a non-protected bike lane. "No more people should die in the streets because their lives are not valued as much as driver convenience," said one organizer.

The vigil & ride for Riley O’Neil was so powerful. Nobody should have to die to get that many electeds out to talk about better infrastructure. #bikechi
