They high key don’t care about violence happening in marginalized communities, they just don’t want that to come downtown, they want it contained in the hood! If they did care about saving teen lives then they’d be rushing to pass the #peacebook instead of wasting time on a curfew!

We’re wishing survivors a swift recovery. We’re glad that they will receive trauma informed care from Comers Children Hospital. Youth need as much support services as possible. That’s why it’s infuriating to us that some of city council is worried about teen trends instead of teen lives! Thread👇🏾👇🏾🧵🧵

Gun violence is terrible no matter who it impacts but it’s extra hurtful and disgusting when a child is harmed and/or killed. Justice for this baby and justice for them all! Stop the violence Chicago!

RIP Dalilah 💜🕊️

“When Black lives are under attack. What’ll we do? Stand up and fight back!” Love & solidarity with Palestine forever, you heard!

Today’s rally wasn’t a protest but rather a call to organize! Join an organization, give/create mutual aid but don’t just march & go home!

Right now we are with OCAD, the @caarprnow.bsky.social and more, at city hall demanding that Chicago remain a Sanctuary city for all residents including undocumented people! Tell Alder Lopez that Chicagoans will not bow down to Trumps racist policies so stop making them for him!

14y/o Shorty K & 15y/o Lil Ksoo (Kenwon) were killed a week apart from each other. Several other teen’s & children have been killed this month #Chicago. These deaths are preventable with the more resources available to youth! Tell city council to keep the 2,000 youth jobs & pass the PeaceBook now!

About last night..

We had a great time entertaining other teens at the Open Mic & it felt good to hold healing space later that evening for families impacted by gun violence. Building community & creating safe spaces is what gives us fulfillment. 💯 no Bap.

Today we’re holding space for creatives, teen artists & musicians. Then later this evening we’re hosting healing space for families directly impacted by gun violence. Violence prevention is wholistic & should create safe spaces for expression, reflection, repair & healing. We keep us safe!

Late post but we wanted to thank @seventeen_in_america for inviting us out to Florida to participate in a powerful conversation with other youth around the country about the impacts of gun violence and our community led solutions to them.

Today we joined the People’s plan for Community safety to reject the $71 million increase proposed for CPD’s budget! Not only do we want to #defundCPD we want real investments in our communities like the #PeaceBook & #TreatmentNotTrauma that will keep us safe!
November 15, 2024 at 5:26 PM
Join us this morning to demand that CPD’s budget is reduced and that our communities are fully funded!
November 15, 2024 at 1:53 PM
“THIS FRIDAY come out to City Hall to oppose the increase to the CPD budget and demand NO CUTS to accountability. We need to show out to let City Council know we won't stand for any further spending on the already bloated police budget!” @caarprnow.bsky.social
