I contributed some writing and research to this guide (including the embedded map). It's my first big project as a member of @chicagodsa.bsky.social. My fellow committee comrades did an incredible job and I'm so proud of how it turned out!
If you live in Cook County, there's a referendum on your November ballot asking if they should bring back AI surveillance microphones. I'm voting NO and so should you!
In Chicago, in 21 months, the AI-powered gunshot detection technology ShotSpotter generated more than 40,000 “dead-end police deployments” 89% of ShotSpotter deployments resulted in no gun-related crime But the tool did cause the fatal police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo.
And happy donate to support gender affirming care to our allies! www.ilgacfund.com
These protections for tenants are HUGE! The RLTO has been an important backstop these past few decades but these modernizations are long overdue.
Chicago is the largest American city without a centralized system to uphold dignified living conditions, just cause for eviction protections, and a dedicated office to promote housing stability for renters. It’s long past time that changes.
To hear more about what we can do with progressive revenue, check out these interviews I did with some neighbors! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBr2S36W/
Finally, if you haven't emailed your representative yet to support taxing corporations and billionaires, reach out today! www.illinoisrevenuealliance.org/takeaction/ Session ends Sunday night, so call and email your representatives tonight!

Thank you to the 60+ kids and many more parents who came out for the ride. We shall do it again.
We’re marshalling Ravenswood Elementary’s first-ever bike bus. The bus is departing at 8:10a from Belle Plaine/Lakeview and arriving at the playground at 8:30a. See the flyer for the route and share with parents in the neighborhood Let us know you are coming: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
#TreatmentNotTrauma a would support and strengthen the CARE program that provides trained mental health professionals to respond to crises rather than armed police officers. This is a program that will save lives and make our communities safer! collaborativeforcommunitywellness.org
In the morning I collected signatures for Debby Pope. I had some great conversations with Albany Park neighbors about how we can support our young people and our public schools! Her district also includes in Lincoln Square, Bowmanville, and Andersonville. www.instagram.com/debbyfordist...
Happy International Workers Day! I am honored to be able to help marshal with @icirr.bsky.social at today's march!

This is sickening. "Conversion therapy" is abuse. That's why Illinois banned its use on minors a decade ago, and it's why it should be banned everywhere. For more information about the harms of so-called "conversion therapy", see: www.naswnc.org/page/BanConv...
@transupfrontil.com recently started this amazing gender affirming care fund - www.ilgacfund.com One way you can help support our community is by donating and making sure people can access life-saving gender affirming care!
