Margaret Kimberley · Community Control of Police Advocates Poised to Win in Chicago

A solid majority of the Chicago Board of Aldermen, including all the major caucuses, now supports a version of community control of police, said Frank Chapman, executive director of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression. “Our mass base of support has gone from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands,” said Chapman. Mayor Lori Lightfoot remains opposed, but Chapman believes “we are in shape to defeat her on all levels.”
