Kim Foxx, who led efforts to reform the Cook County State’s Attorney Office, will not seek a third term in 2024.

She was swept into office in 2016 after activists’ #ByeAnita campaign helped oust her predecessor. Image
Foxx’s work around bail reform, wrongful convictions, and exonerations can be applauded led to a reduction in incarceration and were historic.

“Many of the things that she was able to do was a part of beginning to reverse the policies that created the behemoth of incarceration that we have today, which is the most people incarcerated in the world,” Aislinn Pulley told The TRiiBE.

Today Mayor Lori Lightfoot, Ald. Emma Mitts (37th) and other city officials unveiled the new multi-million dollar public safety training center (cop academy) for first responders, including police, fire, and paramedics in West Humboldt Park.
Wednesday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony comes just days after an as-yet-unnamed officer or officers shot and killed activist Manuel Esteban Paez Terán.

Terán and other activists were protesting Georgia’s cop city, a training facility being built near Atlanta.
theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j…
The training facility is five years in the making.

In 2019, Black youth organizers with the #NoCopAcademy campaign pushed back against mayor Emanuel’s proposal for the multi-million project.

They demanded that the city fund and provide resources for schools and youth.

NEW - Chicagoans have been promised police reform before, and the department’s entrenched attitude against change could make some wonder how effective the district councils will be.

One clue to the power they may wield lies in who’s on the ballot.
thetriibe.com/2023/01/2023-c…
Over the next two months, voters will elect 66 people to serve on police district councils across the city.

In addition to ordinary residents and dedicated activists, several candidates with law enforcement ties are running.
thetriibe.com/2023/01/2023-c…
The @Chicago_Reader sent questionnaires to candidates, interviewed as many as could be reached, and researched their backgrounds using sources ranging from social media to biographies compiled by the ECPS coalition.

We’ve compiled the responses.

🧵[THREAD]

The CWB Chicago used a tweet we posted yesterday afternoon about police district vacancies over the weekend to suggest that Black “crime-ridden” neighborhoods do not care about police accountability. Image
We see the not so subtle racism in the framing of this post.

FYI, the filing results were updated yesterday evening and the majority of the slots in Black and brown neighborhoods now have several candidates running in them.

We are working on an update with the full results.
Family, CWB Chicago is an anonymously-run media site, which very much looks like the police to us.

In the neighborhood news section of their site, they don't list any predominately Black or brown neighborhoods in their coverage area.

Today is the final day to file to run for office in Chicago's 2023 municipal election. Although many police districts do not have enough candidates to fill their open positions.

What happens if no one runs for the newly-created police District Councils? Image
As of 12:56 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27, no candidates had filed to run in the 1st District. That area covers parts of the Loop and South Loop.

Additionally, fewer than three candidates have filed to run in 11 districts, which are predominately Black and brown neighborhoods: Fewer than three candidates...
There are a total of 22 Chicago police districts. Three candidates will be elected to each district.

The offices were born out of last year’s historic Chicago City Council vote to create a new model for police oversight, accountability and public safety.

Good morning, family. It's @ToniaHill here 👋🏾.

I’m outside the Thompson Center for a press conference where city council members and community members are calling on Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Chicago city council to fund the memorial for Chicago police torture survivors.
It’s been seven years since the historic passage of the reparations legislation for Jon Burge torture survivors.

Here’s some good background information:

Here’s Mark Clements a police torture survivor asking the city to fulfill its promise to build and fund the memorial for police torture survivors.
