Protect the fire lit before us & work to ensure that it burns a little brighter for those who come after us.

With incarceration rates on the decline in Illinois, we should be asking why Illinois is even bothering with rebuilding Stateville and Logan. Knock them down and build a public park on top. No new prisons! wgntv.com/news/southwe...

A lot of really wealthy people are going to spend the next two weeks trying to convince you that it's in your interest to protect their wealth. Don't believe them. Vote yes to Bring Chicago Home on March 19th! blockclubchicago.org/2024/03/06/b...

Bring Chicago Home Will Stay On The Ballot After City's Appealblockclubchicago.org Votes on the question will now be counted. The referendum asks voters to decide if the city should increase taxes on property sales over $1 million to fund homelessness prevention.

Maybe instead of getting mad at people who voted uncommitted, you should think about how you can get your candidate to do things that would win them over.

The Chicago Tribune endorsing Eileen O’Neill Burke tells you all you need to know. If you want to return to the corrupt practices of Anita Alvarez and increase mass incarceration, you've got your candidate.

If you read Illinois crime reporting, you'll notice an increasing trend where law enforcement implies that anyone who has been charged with an allegation of violence should be jailed without a pathway to release while awaiting trial. This is an extremely dangerous idea. (THREAD)

With any other elected offical, they'd be talking about how he fulfilled another campaign promise, with the Black Mayor of the city of Chicago, the implication is that he isn't leading his administration.

Stopping shotspotter would: -send a signal to the rest of the country that big tech can't save the failed institution of policing - reduce police terror caused by wild goose chases - save lives & reduce wrongful prosecutions - free up money for actual violence prevention work
