@_CharlesPreston True we gotta #VoteThemOut but it's impossible when millennials vote in single digit percentages. Unless we're going to organize millennials for the 2019 Chicago municipal elections then we'll literally be repeating the same thing again.

@janaebonsu To make it worse the Mayor during a press conference on Wednesday basically punked everyone by saying "tell me which Alderman is going to change their vote..?"

[Citizens4 Civic Ed @ccechicago]

@janaebonsu The Aldermanic Black Caucus is stuck in the plantation mindset. Instead of telling the Mayor WHAT black communities want, they instead take cues FROM the Mayor's office. It's all backwards.

[Citizens4 Civic Ed @ccechicago]

There's literally no other profession that allows you to legally brutalize another human being with no consequences. These laws have to change. #NoCopAcademy

[Citizens4 Civic Ed @ccechicago]

Chicago has paid out over $662 million in police misconduct cases since 2004. That's over half a BILLION dollars 🤔.... something has to change #NoCopAcademy
