Environmental racism makes a toxic terrifying halloween when @chicagosmayor only replayed 3 toxic lead pipes out of 650 she promised... in a city with 400,000 toxic lead service lines (one of the largest in the country)

@chicagosmayor $200+ million increase in police spending is scary - it doesn’t make our communities safer but occupies Black and brown neighborhoods with structured and organized violence. Go to bit.ly/bewarethecityb… to take action. #BewaretheCityBudget #OurChiBudget2022 #DefundCPD
Our demands:
1) • Move money back into the public mental health clinics so that more residents have access to quality mental health care.
