Join CAARPR in the streets to advance the fight for police accountability in Chicago! We’ll be meeting at the CAARPR Office, 6351 S Cottage Grove Ave, at 11 a.m. Friday 10/23, at 11 pm on Saturday 10/24, and at 2pm on Sunday 10/25

The CPOP referendum will give us the democratic power to hold CPD accountable for their crimes against our communities.
When passed, this referendum would:

✅ Make the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability a truly democratic body with 9 elected positions and 2 appointed positions. The 2 appointed positions are reserved for youth and those with a history of incarceration, who are otherwise excluded from running for public office.

⚡️ Give the Commission power to negotiate the Fraternal Order of Police contract, set the CPD budget, directly appoint and remove the Superintendent and members of the Police Board.
This means putting the people in charge of who polices our communities and how our communities are policed!

As the racist and reactionary ruling class continue to unleash attacks on the democratic rights of oppressed and working class people, we need to fight to expand our democratic rights at every turn.
