Dear Friends -

Please dig deep to help with this fundraiser. The Chicago Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression is taking up the struggle for community control of the police. They are the organizers for the mass march on August 29th to demand an elected, civilian police accountability council:

Last month, Frank Chapman of the Alliance shared the stage with Angela Davis and Rasmea Odeh in front of 500 people.

As Ted Pearson of the Alliance points out, this work needs funding. Thanks in advance for your support.

Dear Friends, Fellow Activists and Allies,

 

We at the Chicago Alliance have mounted a fundraising drive to meet expenses associated with our Stop Police Crimes campaign for an elected Civilian Police Accountability Council.  We are specifically raising money for our upcoming march on August 29 demanding community control over the Chicago Police.  CPAC and the march have been endorsed by a broad coalition of organizations and have significant community support in the neighborhoods most affected by racist police tactics and abuse.  All of this organizing work needs funding.  Please visit the fundraising site below to learn more.  Whether you can contribute or not, please forward the link widely.
