Action You Can Take Today
Your Vote for District Council: Toward Community Control of Police on Tuesday, January 31 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. (virtual event)
Your Vote for District Council Event 1/31
Now that the Empowering Communities for Public Safety (ECPS) ordinance is in effect, citizens in each of Chicago's 22 police districts will be electing 3 council members to represent the community on their newly established District Council. In short, each of Chicago's 22 District Councils will have 3 council members representing the community in their police district.
On Tuesday, January 31 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Indivisible Chicago-South Side invites you to attend a Zoom info session on the ECPS ordinance and Chicago's new District Councils: "Your Vote for District Council: Toward Community Control of Police."
The info session will open with a teach-in on ECPS by Frank Chapman of CAARPR, including an explanation of the role of the newly established police District Councils. Then we'll hear from the four candidates running for the District Council in the 2nd police district: Coston Plummer, Julia Kline, Ephraim Lee, Alexander J. Perez.
Even if you don't live in the 2nd police district, our info session will still have important information for you about the ECPS ordinance and the election. RSVP here
