.@chris29thward Use your position as an elected leader to support racial justice during these times. I ask that you schedule a joint Education and Public Safety committee BEFORE the July City Council meeting so that #PoliceFreeSchools can be put to a full vote.

@chicagosmayor put 40% of Chicago’s budget to police at the expense of education, healthcare, and resources for communities. We demand #CPACNow and the diversion of money from policing to resources to help Black & Brown communities heal from the pandemic.

@LoriLightfoot says she is against violence, but has done nothing about the everyday police violence in Chicago during her term as mayor. We demand #CPACNow to hold police accountable when Lightfoot has failed to do so.
