The members of Red Line SG have recently been made aware of the history of our home bar, Reggie's, in hosting white supremacist artists and records at its now-defunct record store, as well as recent shows from a band that uses a lot of fascist/Third Reich imagery and references
To ensure supporters of color, Jewish supporters, and all members of our community feel safe and affirmed at Red Line events, we are dissolving our partnership with Reggie's. RLSG will be undergoing a shift in operations and will share more information in the coming weeks.
Rock Against Racism is temporarily postponed. We are working with our friends in ACU and Black Fires to put on a great anti-racist show as soon as we can. We always welcome support/collaboration in putting events together, including recommendations of BIPOC-owned venues and bars.
We desire partners that are able to publicly affirm their responsibilities in this moment. With fascism on the rise around the world, we expect our partners to be able to do the bare minimum in denouncing it.

The owner of Reggie's confirmed this is accurate and RLSG leadership told them that if there was going to be a path forward, we expect a public statement from the bar denouncing platforming of white supremacist and fascist music. They have not agreed to these terms.
Today we were able to get new soccer shoes to 18 Venezuelan refugees.
Wish it had been a nicer day out but now they are well equipped to join our free weekly pickup whenever they'd like.

Always open to anyone that lives for soccer in Chicago and wants to work collectively to improve it. Tweet us, DM us, send us an email, talk to a member. Help grow the game with us.
Big shout out to
@barnburners1871
for taking video so we can get some of the new stuff out before people get in the section on Saturday!
Allez Allez Allez!

After months of work on this project, we finally have something very exciting to announce:

We're excited to announce a new partnership with

We'll have a keg of Half Acre beer at every

Tomorrow is the

season opener and if you get a beer at any of our bars during the game (and tag us on one of your socials) then you're halfway to a free ticket to the home opener next Saturday!

The whole city is turning out for the

match vs. Vietnam. Check out the map of the Red, White, and Blue line for Friday and cheer the squad on to a three-peat!
Calling all Red Stars supporters! We are running a special
#RidetheRed
to NC for the NWSL final in the form of a van leaving Saturday morning and leaving Sunday night. We have room for up to 3 riders (preferably licensed, but not necessary). Please DM or reply if interested
#MKOT
Even with new, horrifying details, the Yates Report confirms what we already knew — that a culture of abuse was allowed to fester throughout the NWSL, including at the Chicago Red Stars.
We're closing in on our 100th Member! To celebrate we're going to give away our custom
@ChicagoFire
jersey signed by the whole team to a randomly selected Voting Member. So how do you qualify?
#cf97
#ChiStars
We support Christen Press, Sam Johnson, Jen Hoy & all Red Stars & Eclipse players who suffered Dames’ abuse — those who shared their experiences & those whose stories we may never hear — we believe you, we are with you & this bravery should not have had to rest on your shoulders.
Straight from the land of Rohan (but actually not for legal purposes), the mythical creature Ricky makes his long awaited jersey appearance!

We have been connected with a group of Afghan refugees that would like to play pickup with us at White Park but they need proper shoes!
Please donate gently used shoes and/or money for us to buy new ones so that we can get them on the pitch.

I don't know who this Steve guy is but he sure ordered a lot of jackets.
Congrats to 12 more members that put in a year of work growing Chicago soccer with us and earned their jackets! A year from today that could be you!

If you are not a member of a supporters group and you are considering joining, come out to
@reggieslive
on Saturday and we will provide a free match ticket to the
@ChicagoFire
game and your first beer at the bar is on us. Sign up on our website:
There's been a lot of discussion about our partner bar
@reggieslive
. We have learned of some things that occurred in the past that are not acceptable to us. We're exploring these issues further but in the meantime we're suspending our operations at the bar until further notice.
If you're interested in joining a group of people working to grow and enjoy the game of soccer in Chicago then let us know!
We're open to everyone and there are many ways you can make a positive impact on the sport in this city.

As long as 101 is banned we will no longer be a group of season ticket holders dedicated to enhancing the
@ChicagoFire
experience. This saddens us but we must stick to our principles and support our fellow SGs.
#cf97
Great turnout today! Glad to see reps from 7 different groups but even better to see new faces looking to get involved. Save the date (1/7) for the next meeting.
@Banda_Roja137
will be creating an online space for music ideas so keep an eye out for that in the meantime.
#cf97
Building atmosphere takes work. Hats off to everyone that's contributed sweat to the home opener display. What can you do to contribute to the gameday experience?
#cf97
We also stand in solidarity with players & supporters in Portland, Louisville & across the league in demanding change. It is time for action.

The Red Line stands with the

The day before Mother's Day, make a weekend out of it and come down to St. Louis with us for the

Not many people put in more time, effort, and money into the

We've spent a lot of time making sure we understood exactly what brought us to this moment. Serious events have taken place and none of this is taken lightly. Protesting would mean giving up one of our greatest joys in life. To do so, we must stand on solid footing. 1/10

This

season, yet again, has fallen way short. It is embarrassing and unacceptable.
We'll be working on an in-stadium display tonight at
@HalfAcreBeer
in Bowmanville. We could use hands to help with painting and donations to help with costs:
We are discussing our next course of action internally & alongside Local 134, Black Fires & other partners. But one thing is for sure — we have zero faith in Arnim Whisler’s ability to steward the club in a way that ensures the wellbeing of the players.
Thank you
