THREAD: #KimFoxx and her opponent #BillConway are neck and neck in the race for Cook County State’s Attorney. Regardless of how you feel about the role and responsibilities of the SA’s office, here’s why the choice to #CancelConway is an easy one: chicagoreader.com/chicago/why-we…

Conway is an acolyte of former State’s Attorney #AnitaAlvarez. Alvarez was voted out decisively through the #ByeAnita campaign, after helping bury the murder of #LaquanMcDonald in 2015. This is in part how #KimFoxx won the office. #CancelConway

Conway’s campaign is bankrolled by the #CarlyleGroup, a billion $ arms dealer (headed by his dad) responsible for the teargas used in #BlackLivesMatter protests in Ferguson and in occupied #Palestine. The group is also a large donor to #Trump’s reelection campaign. #CancelConway

Conway’s political base is the Fraternal Order of Police, a racist organization whose primary goal is total impunity for law enforcement, no matter the cost to the public, and to Black and Brown communities in particular. #CancelConway

The FOP is trying to polarize communities around #KimFoxx's handling of the #JussieSmollett case. The ruse declares that declining to incarcerate a celebrity for lying to police (a non-violent if foolish crime) is her greatest offense. #CancelConway

The hyperfocus on her mishandling of one high-profile case is meant to detract from #KimFoxx’s record of pushing for police accountability, supporting bail reform, and successfully expunging the records of those targeted by the War on Drugs. #CancelConway

Folk like @ewarren, @BernieSanders, @ColorOfChange have all endorsed #KimFoxx. We cannot be invested in the battle for progressive platforms in the Democratic Primary without paying equal attention to that same battle in local elections. #CancelConway

@ewarren @BernieSanders @ColorOfChange #KimFoxx is not a savior but a perfect example of an elected official who holds her position and makes the work of organizers and community movements more possible. She is literally the only choice for progressives, and those who hope to reverse mass incarceration. #CancelConway
