National conference: Fight for community control of police

Latest

Rally on Human Rights: Democracy and Community Control of Police.

 
CHICAGO, IL — We can struggle to gain community control of the police so that Black and Brown communities in particular can decide who polices them and how they are policed. Chicago is a leader in this fight through its proposed legislation for an all-elected civilian police accountability council (CPAC) with the power to set department policy, approve the department’s budget, and discipline and fire officers. The legislation, introduced this year, already has 19 of the 26 votes it needs to become law.
Chicago will host a major conference November 22-24 to launch a nation-wide movement for community control of the police based on the experience of organizers from across the U.S. working to end racist police impunity. We will bring the fight for community control to cities across the country. In the end, either the people, united, control the police, or the police will continue to control and divide us.
