@_MJenk21 @Twitter I am not ADOS but a lifelong ally—I’m the child of Jamaican immigrants. I’ve taught in ADOS communities, and married an ADOS husband.

I recognize the specificity of the justice claim and want to help out with the cause. To me, this is THE civil rights fight of our generation.

NEXT MONDAY: We will be hosting Sip and Study #4, which is going to be an important deep dive into how our municipal, county, and state governments work. Effective advocates have to make sure they are well-informed about the structures that shape our lives.

Reparations should be a part of every progressive agenda.

"Englewood, which is 95 percent black, is slowly becoming a maternity-care desert, with two other nearby hospitals closing their maternity wards within the past year." Elected officials need to address maternal morbidity in mostly ADOS communities. #twill

ACTION ALERT: We want to make it clear that COVID-19 continues to have an outsized impact on Black Chicagoans. 44% of COVID-19 deaths have been Black folks, despite being 28% of the population.

We NEED to continue to push the demands in our Black Community COVID-19 Petition.

[BWOP Chicago @BwopC]

ACTION ALERT: Join us in leaving an email or leaving a voicemail for your city-level elected officials on Wednesdays during the rest of the month of June and July. #BCCR #twill #chipol

people in black chicago neighborhoods have varying ideas about policing. no one wants killing or brutality; that's a given. some want to abolish the police. others want what they define as good community policing.
