Coalition Against Police Crimes & Repression CAPCR

CAPCR is a Black-led grassroots movement founded in 1983 to end the violence of policing and directly support victims.

[Coalition Against Police Crimes & Repression CAPCR @CAPCRstl]

St. Louis doesn’t need a Cop City. We must ensure STL City leaders do not support this misuse of millions of dollars that should be spent creating REAL Public Safety!

Everybody keeps asking me if I'm gonna run for 3rd Ward Alderperson.

Yes. Yes, I am.

Good luck to those that attempt to get in the way.

[Equal rights, lefts, and uppercuts @InezBordeaux]

THIS.

When Lewis Reed, JCM and fucking Jeffrey Boyd were charged with selling out STL for a McChicken and a value fry, the very same people calling for Keith's resignation, told us that we needed to wait for due process.

Keep that same energy for Keith.

[Alderman Rasheen Aldridge. Jr (He/Him) @AlderSheenBean]

First and foremost, I want to extend my thoughts and prayers to officer Travis Brown and wish him a speedy recovery. The goal of the movement is to highlight the systemic issues that have oppressed marginalized communities like ours for decades. The unfortunate incident that occurred Friday night should not diminish the many milestones we have achieved over the past ten years. As an elected official who emerged from the Ferguson movement, I am committed to continuing the conversation and building bridges as we move toward progress.

St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell’s office refuses to drop charges, even though video shows the police officer lied about what happened.

Over a year has passed since STL's police chief took office with a salary partly paid by private donors, raising hard questions about influence and loyalty. Are policing priorities for sale? https://t.co/vfwRy0dVeM

Leaders calling for more transparency from St. Louis Police Department amid growing list of officer-involved crashes https://t.co/wumm88M6tn

Tonight: @CAPCRstl celebrated 40 years of advocating against police brutality and increasing public safety & accountability.

The organization was presented with a resolution from the City of St. Louis from Alderwoman @schubbard10

[Mike Milton @MikeAMilton314]

This is so wild. In the whole city of Stl there’s only 530 people in the cage without any reasonable rise in violence. Shout out to all the comrades that’s been working to decarcerate stl since 2017. There’s still so much work to be done.

Abolition is possible.

It’s time to end Qualified Immunity

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

Qualified immunity has allowed police officers in our country to kill Black people with impunity.

There were only 15 days last year when police did NOT kill someone.

Why are they above the law?

[Freedom Community Center @FCCStLouis]

Instead of meeting ppl’s social support needs with community based processes and support that actually prevent future violence, our judges and criminal legal system rely nearly 60% of the time on caging people pretrial. Investment into more social supports will reduce violence.

[Freedom Community Center @FCCStLouis]

Join us and @DefundSLMPD, @ActionSTL, @StlChange, @ArchCityDefense, @CAPCRstl, @CLOSEWorkhouse next Tuesday for a town hall with @saintlouismayor.

Protestors just rushed the field
