Some of us are recent graduates of Hyde Park academy &/or live in Woodlawn so we were proud to join @STOPChicago in supporting students who want #PoliceFreeSchools
#CopsOutCPS

a thread: 🧵🪡👇🏾 twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
As a concession because of the strong organizing here in #Chicago by @StuStrikeBack @STOPChicago @BPNCchicago & so many more to get #CopsOutCPS, CPS decided to allow LCS members vote to keep or fire SRO’s in each respective school. Hyde Park Academy already voted out one SRO… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Sadly this week the LSC voted to keep their remaining SRO despite all of the students giving strong & rational reasons as to why they rather use the $80K, used for the cop, to instead go towards programming & restorative justice in their school. The LSC didn’t listen & here’s why twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
For one, they don’t have any students on the LSC but the main reason is most of their votes were informed/based in copaganda. They weren’t familiar with restorative justice & they couldn’t fathom co-creating safety & building a culture of peace with the students. That’s the work twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Popular education on the value of student led restorative justice, in addition to abolition & how policing is inherently violent, these are the things parents & teachers need to know. They all genuinely want to keep students safe, it’s just they’re understanding is limited.

We’re really excited & nervous about getting youth out to the polls to #Vote because after speaking with over 100 teens about voting we’ve seen striking similarities. 1. Barriers to voting like not having bills in their names, $ to get a State ID, having no home address 🧵👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
It’s beyond difficult to get your social security card & birth certificate when you’re houseless &/or estranged with your family. 2. Where’s the Pop Ed/Political Education for youth? A lot of youth didn’t know about the candidates or their platforms. 🧵👇🏾
But when you bring up the issues like housing, violence prevention, environmental justice etc, youth really care but there’s a disconnect because a lot of them are shocked when you inform them about the ways the Mayor & city council impacts their communities.

A Suntimes reporter quoted our tweet, where we basically called CPD a state sponsored & protected gang. CPD has shot & jailed #LatrellAllen & shot & killed #MiguelVega!

Yesterday a Sheriff & a off duty cop shot people in 2 separate incidents!

Thread:

chicago.suntimes.com/platform/amp/c…
#LatrellAllen fortunately survived being shot in the back by CPD & like #JacobBlake he was handcuffed to his bed in the hospital while getting treatment for his injuries. They criminalized him & sent him straight to jail!

#MiguelVega’s family says that he was running away from the gunfire when he got killed by CPD! He won’t be able to share his story & like Latrell he has also been criminalized by CPD & the media! Please donate what you can.

Hey y’all we’re still going through a journey of learning & we want to thank everyone who has contributed to our knowledge.

Please read this thread about State sanctioned violence & political prisoners! In #Chicago we have 4 political prisoners being held hostage by the State!
We learned about the Furgeson uprising that happened in 2014. It was a military style response to protesters. The cops beat & tear gassed residents with no regards for their lives or justice. The State convicted #JoshuaWilliams to deter further rebellion!

For people unfamiliar with the term here’s a quick definition.
