As City Council debates today, some Alders are pointing to funding for a non-police crisis response team as reason to vote yes on this regressive budget.

As we and 40+ other groups said last week, the amount allocated is NOT enough. #TreatmentNotTrauma https://t.co/CoSgP9BE9U

@JamesCappleman, in case you needed other ideas.

[Kitty Revolution @kittyrev91]

Say NO to austerity, @JamesCappleman. #DefundCPD #TreatmentNotTrauma

[UPLC Chicago @uplcchicago]

Tell your local alderman (@JamesCappleman for our fellow Uptown residents) that we need them to vote NO on Lori Lightfoot’s regressive budget.

@JamesCappleman, as a constituent, I am asking you to VOTE NO tomorrow on @ChicagoMayor's racist and anti-working class budget! Social worker to social worker, we need to #DefundCPD and fund #treatmentnottrauma!

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

If the budget is a moral document, then @chicagosmayor is demonstrating complete moral failure. SSWU Chicago demands Chicago's alderpeople vote "NO" today. #DefundCPD #BlockTheBudget

Patterson: "Families and survivors want to see justice for their families. Who is better equipped to do that than a police officer?"

Who ISN'T???

In a few minutes, SSWU is going to be live tweeting a training hosted by NASW on social work collaboration with police. https://t.co/o8hQC2L1F1

Arguing policing is CONSISTENT with social justice because it... enforces laws... (but those laws are not just), protection of rights (whose rights?), maintains peace (NOPE), crime prevention (direct resources do it better), and provides services (social workers can do this)

This. All of this.#unionsforall #strikeseason

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

We're now well into the second week of @SEIU73's strike at UIC. We're in full solidarity as they fight for safe workplaces and a fair contract.

It's possible to get an MSW without ever discussing unions in class. So let's talk a bit about social work and the labor movement.

[Kitty Revolution @kittyrev91]

So proud to be working with this group! It's time they get the respect they deserve! #strikeseason

[SEIU Local 73 @SEIULocal73]

#Rockford is standing strong in this #StrikeForOurLives 💪

#ProtectAllWorkers
#FairContractNowUIC

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

SSWU-Chicago stands in solidarity with @SEIU73 workers preparing to strike and @INAaction nurses already striking for fair pay, manageable caseloads, universal PPE, and dignity and respect from .@thisisUIC and .@UIHealth #StrikeForOurLives #FairContractNowUIC

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

Happy #LaborDay from SSWU Chicago. All social service workers, with or without a social work degree, are workers. All workers deserve a union. By organizing together we can create a better world for ourselves and our clients. #1u

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

The work of SSWU-Chicago, and comments from one of our members, along with @dopeblack_slwkr, @jessdkant, and others was just published at @theappeal this morning! Thank you to @MiaRSato for covering radical social work demands for abolition!

We will not be sharing the Chicago Police Department tweets that include the personal information of arrested protesters who have not been convicted of any crime. We do urge people to report those tweets and contact their alderperson.

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

We recall @chicagosmayor condemning people who take and destroy things that are not theirs.

[Social Service Workers United-Chicago @SSWUChicago]

It's been another day of Chicago police inflicting violence on protests led by Black and Brown youth.

Another day of the city's best-funded agency--the CPD--deployed to protect high-end businesses, as basic infrastructure like the @CTA and roads were cut off. #ChicagoProtests

While we support glitter and sequins, the rest of the communications committee would like to remind a certain member that this was not an official name change.

(When that member stops giggling.)

Good morning! Columbus statues from Grant and Arrigo parks are GONE.
