We have six #CPACNow supporting alderman who didn't sign onto the GAPA bill. Thank you for siding with the movement and standing for real police accountability: @taylorfor20th @CDRosa @RossanaFor33 @Andrefor40th @SigchoFor25 @MaldonadoR26

Our supporters have been calling the 13 CPAC aldermen for nearly a week. We've been flooding the phones and our efforts are working.

Mayor Lightfoot is using GAPA to stop our movement for #CPACNow and that's not happening without a fight.

Let's be clear: she isn't supporting GAPA as a pathway to CPAC, she's supporting GAPA as the solution to policy tyranny.

These 6 aldermen KNOW that community control of the police is the solution. CPD is terrorizing Black and Brown communities - from shooting unarmed Black people to collaborating with ICE to deport undocumented people.

Your commitment to this movement is crucial as we move forward with this campaign to end police crimes for good.
