Here at 24th and Sawyer in Little Village to #StopShotSpotter and cancel their contract in Chicago

Alex with ACRE: Most folks should be here - including Adam Toledo. Investing in Shotspotter is choosing to take away opportunities. We are here to let the city know that’s not happening anymore. It’s not happening because we keep us safe.

@UneteLaVillita

Jose w @UneteLaVillita: We’re here to talk about shotspotter, these audio devices that are surveilling our communities. We had a meeting w/ Mike Rodriguez. He said he would be an ally but he wouldn’t commit to canceling the contract because he didn’t want to lose.

One speaker “What are we doing for Adam? What are we doing for Marc?What are we doing for Anthony? There were thousands marching in Logan Square for Adam, where are they now? “ #StopShotspotter

What do our communities need to be safe and thriving?

- youth programs
- libraries

We’re in two breakout groups now and folks have to decide where to spent their first $1 to make a community budget.

Housing was a pop. choice bc “people need a place to live, shower, be themselves, relax” etc.
