There are 100s of Chicago community members crowded on the first floor of City Council right now demanding a #ceasefire and a free Palestine! This comes after a shameful decision City Councilors to postpone the Ceasefire Resolution.
The Illinois-funded Boeing just expedited shipment of 1,000 bombs to aid Israel's genocide in Gaza!
Sign onto our demands that @JBPritzker end his $8.7 million tax break to Boeing now! https://t.co/XyKvyNh1zT
BOOT BOEING, FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
in Chicago today more than 25,000 people came out to protest against the ongoing genocide in Gaza and demand the end of the occupation and an immediate ceasefire! #FreePalestine
When social workers claim that police are needed during crisis calls, our most vulnerable neighbors are put at risk. @ChiPublicHealth’s Dr. Arwady supports endangering social workers & people in crisis. Take action here: https://t.co/eZDC4FCnbM #FireArwady#TreatmentNotTrauma

Today, 66 environmental, human rights, and civil liberties organizations sent a letter to Georgia prosecutors urging them to drop domestic terrorism charges against #StopCopCity protesters. The charges are a draconian escalation seemingly intended to chill 1A-protected activity.
Biden: let's do something on police reform. Reformist reforms don’t work. Diversifying the police force, training, and body cams do not reduce the funding or scope of policing. https://t.co/W5qpEkJsWu #SOTU2023
Police violence is unacceptable, and is killing Black people in our communities.
We all have a role to play in keeping our communities safe, and that includes "thinking twice" before calling 911 in the first place.
Sign the "Think Twice" pledge: https://t.co/3Zfg7V7uSR #SOTU2023
Biden: let's do something on police reform. There is no justice in policing. Measures under the George Floyd Act wouldn’t have saved George Floyd’s life. https://t.co/HyaHfOntoj #SOTU2023
"The tax system is not fair."
It's time for corporations and the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes! We can afford to invest in our communities if billionaires and companies are fairly taxed. #SOTU2023
Biden says he's working to bring prescription drug prices down, so that people can feel "secure."
That's what real security is - being able to access healthcare and other basic human needs. That is how we keep our communities safe! #SOTU2023
