UPDATE: ASA Council responded & as expected they refused to endorse our resolution & plan to write their own. This spring members will vote between the two.

HOWEVER, they also unilaterally struck the 2nd item on our resolution re: financial disclosure & military investments 1/

@louise_seamster Reminds me of a deep dive @Chicago_Reader published a few years back, showing how a lot of this slush fund stays off the books & is split b/t CPD, Cook Co State’s Attorney, & IL Police. https://t.co/KjUYoIX7EK

[Rampant Magazine @rampantmag]

City budgets are key targets of local organizing, but cities themselves are bound by much larger financial forces. A recent book by Destin Jenkins details how cities became trapped by banks and credit rating agencies intent on austerity and racism.

These vulnerabilities are not just borne by Chicago’s car-driving population, city planners, or local govt more generally. As w/ the tragic case of Revall Burke, these costs have come to be socialized onto the bodies of “essential workers” who keep the meter money moving.

[kasey henricks @KaseyHenricks]

🧵 Some context for Revall Burke, a 15-year parking enforcement aide who was Chicago’s 1st city worker to pass away from COVID complications. He would have turned 63 last month. https://t.co/sYztL4WUMk

[kasey henricks @KaseyHenricks]

Chicago modestly followed these steps b/c it has to balance these choices against not owning the public way. That is, the meter sell-off defers decisions of local governance to returns for global capital while Chicagoans become ever more vulnerable.
