By now we should all know that one-off fixes do more hurt than help. We’ve compiled a list of trusted organizations who do long term support (https://t.co/tAXdozUCTF). Mutual Aid is our community’s power. It’s our present and future. Nos tenemos ♥️ #PuertoRico #HurricaneFiona

Nearly a million Chicagoans are unemployed. Our government spends money on the police and military while denying basic human necessities during a pandemic. Join us on #UnemploymentDay, Sat. Oct. 3rd to demand that police/military funding be reinvested back into our communities!

Miguel Vega's family is mourning his murder after CPD shot him in the back of the head. His family will be holding a vigil for him 6 pm tonight at 19th & Throop.

The family is inviting all of us to hold space with them as they grieve. #JusticeForMiguelVega

[The Chicago Alliance @CAARPRNow]

Jacob Blake deescalated a violent situation and Kenosha police shot him seven times in the back. They then teargassed the people who were demanding #JusticeForJacobBlake. Police don't keep us safe.
This is why we demand #DefundThePolice and #CPACNow in every city.

[Chicago Boricua Resistance @DecolonizePR]

Heartbroken. Fuck white supremacy.

They killed two people in their effort to “protect property”

Fund people, not pigs

[Chicago Boricua Resistance @DecolonizePR]

Fund SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, HEALTHCARE, MENTAL HEALTH, HOUSING, NUTRITION, and the ENVIRONMENT! Look at the root causes of harm and oppression instead of investing in "bandages" for our "wounds" that end up hurting us more while not stopping the cycles of violence in our city.

[Chicago Boricua Resistance @DecolonizePR]

Why are we calling to #DefundCPD? Chicago gives so much of its yearly budget to a police force that causes harm and doesn't prevent it. Police RESPOND to instances of harm and cause further harm as a result. Let's invest in alternatives that prevent harm before it happens!

Currently about 200 Loyola Students are doing sit in. They blocked the intersection at Loyola Sheridan

Join us today at #BREAKTHEPIGGYBANKCHICAGO!
40% of our city budget goes to the police. This racist, violent institution has too much power! We should be investing in education and healthcare! It's time to #DefundCPD
