The newly-elected pro-community control of police bloc on the city council will also push for community control of schools and greater democracy in general, said Aislinn Pulley, co-leader of Black Lives Matter, Chicago. “We want no more of neoliberalism and privatizing of our public institutions and selling them off for profit,” said Pulley. “We want no more of the conditions that are driving Black people out of this city. It stops here.”
