    Chicago Mayor Lori Lighfoot has written off the demand to defund the police as “a nice hashtag.” Now, a city-sponsored survey shows that 87% of respondents want to reallocate the budget of police services to fund other programs.

    Lightfoot just implemented a curfew from 9pm to 6am yet cops have protesters kettled downtown, have stopped the CTA, lifted bridges so cars can’t get through. This is a trap and excuse to hurt protesters. Again, if u can’t get out of downtown, go to Chi Freedom School 719 S State

    This is what coordinated, proto fascist state repression looks like right now in these United States

    Chicago is now the largest city in the U.S. where leaders have not promised to cut funding for police in the wake of heated protests over George Floyd’s death. trib.al/UZVB8oy

    15.6% of Kenosha, WI residents had an income below the poverty level in 2017, which was 27.5% greater than the poverty level of 11.3% across the entire state of Wisconsin. This is what their police force looks like, though

    Right now we need your help in demanding @ChicagosMayor lower the bridges and open the subway entrances downtown so people can get home. We are very concerned that the curfew will be used as license to let CPD run wild while people will literally be trapped.

    Lori Lightfoot is just a straight up cop. Just this week she has 1)refused to honor Juneteenth, 2)refused to remove cops from schools, 3)refused to remove statues dedicated to genocide. There is no "progressive" bone in her body. We did warn ya'll.

    Black Lives Matters canceled their protest in Englewood after residents asked them to leave: "We have a relationship with the commander and if anyone wants to come in here and talk to the police about the shooting or anything, they have to go through us." abc7chicago.com/activists-worr…

    We want y’all to know that the action for Adam Toledo was completely beautiful and powerful, multiracial ams multi generational. We were dispersing, walking one member to their car and CPD rushed us and attacked us and others. What happened was completely unprovoked.

    Chicago has at least four protests for #BreonnaTaylor tonight. Two on the south side, one downtown and one on the north side. Stay in these streets. Fists up ✊🏾 #FightingForOurLivesMeansSavingTheWorld
