#CPACNow The People Demand Democratic Control of the
Chicago Police

When: 9am, Wednesday September 14th, 2016
Where: Chicago City Hall, 121 N LaSalle, 2nd Floor

Join community members from across the city, neighborhood groups, labor unions, and religious leaders as we converge again on the meeting of the City Council this Wednesday to demand enactment of the legislation creating and empowering an all-elected Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC).

This legislation was introduced in the Council by Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa on July 20 (Record #O2016-5707) and has the support of Aldermen Moreno, Sadlowski Garza, Foulkes, Brookins, Maldonado, Santiago, Mitts, and Pawar. A press conference will take place before the Council meeting at 9:00 am on the 2nd Floor of City Hall, outside the Council chamber.

Rahm Emanuel and his allies in the City Council, including the so-called "progressive caucus", are on the run, dodging the demands of the people for the only just and democratic solution to police crime and abuse spiraling out of control in Chicago. Over nine months' worth of "public hearings" have been held beginning with the mayor's appointed Police Accountability Task Force and culminating with the "progressive caucus" neighborhood hearings. The people testifying at these hearings overwhelmingly demanded CPAC and community control of the police. By the final hearings the cries for CPAC were nearly unanimous.

The Mayor is trying to hoodwink the people with a newly appointed police oversight body that continues to be unaccountable to the people. No matter how often he reschedules the introduction of his phony solution, we, the people will be there to stop his royal decree.

We the people will continue to hammer on that door, and the loud roar echoing in City Hall will be the people winning. "We need CPAC, and the time to pass it is NOW!"
Join us 9am this Wednesday, City Hall, 2nd floor.
