Rev. Jackson plans rally in support of Chicago prosecutor
CHICAGO — The Rev. Jesse Jackson and other clergy are planning a rally in support of Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, who’s faced criticism since her office dropped charges against actor Jussie Smollett .
Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition says the civil rights leader will join fellow clergy, elected officials, attorneys and community activists for a Monday morning rally at the Chicago Temple supporting Foxx.
Jackson says in a statement that the criticism of Foxx is “unreasonable, unjustified and politically motivated.”
