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.

We’re here at the @CCPSA_Chicago hearing with Superintendent Snelling to raise our demands on CPD.

First up for public comment is Kofi from @GKMC18 speaking on the need for immediate action following police crimes, including firing of officers, and an end to traffic stops. Image
In response, Snelling dodges the concrete demands and speaks about the need for training and partnering with violence prevention groups
Next up Miracle Boyd from @GKMC18 responds to Snelling’s claim that traffic stops have gone down by mentioning the 50,000 carried out last year, and speaks about the number of cases never addressed from 2020 and before and asks what he will do to address them. Image

THREAD: Gerald Reed has been incarcerated for 29 years after being tortured into confessing to a crime he did not commit. His incarceration exposes the illegitimacy of the prison system. W/ the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the time to #FreeGeraldReed and #FreeThemAll
Gerald was kidnapped by CPD on October 3rd, 1990. Detectives Michael Kill and Victor Breska, members of Jon Burge’s notorious “midnight crew”, proceeded to torture Gerald until he confessed to a double homicide.
During the “interrogation” the detectives broke a metal rod that had been placed in Gerald’s leg to repair his thigh bone from a gunshot wound. This injury has still not been adequately treated and Gerald cannot walk because of it.

What is #CPACNow?
How will it enable us to #DefundThePolice?
What else will CPAC empower us to do?
A thread on how exactly CPAC will overturn the power dynamic between police and our communities. Image
The #CPACNow ordinance was first written in 2012 after the police murder of Rekia Boyd. It would establish community control of the police, a goal first fought for by the Black Panther Party, by putting elected community members in charge of decisions around policing. Image
The word "community" is important here. The communities who need to be empowered are the ones most harmed by police violence, so #CPACNow council members will need at least 2 years of experience organizing in oppressed and marginalized communities. Image
