In #Chicago from grammar school to college, we’ve suffered 8 years under two neoliberal Mayors, who’ve closed our schools, closed our local mental health clinics, increased CPD’s budget & built #NoCopAcademy
Now we support #StopCopCity so ATL & other cities don’t suffer too! – at Loop, Chicago

We knew today with the @UN was going to be heavy, traumatic & triggering but it was important to show up for our families most impacted by CPD’s violence.

Upon reflecting on what happened in downtown Chicago over the weekend, @pksmid talked to public safety experts and youth advocates who pitched ideas about preventing crime and mayhem this summer -- from paid peacekeepers to improved transportation. wbez.org/stories/how-chicago…

In 2019 we had a Beach party on 31st street with over 1,000 teens in attendance! No shootings & no fights happened because it was organized as a peaceful event.
Youth workers & unarmed security de-escalated any conflicts & @KeyisQueen & @KorporateCold brought the vibes!
