Since people need reminding: you cannot social distance in jail. Every arrest carries the risk of killing people.

Let's not repeat history. History: State and local spending cuts during the Great Recession delayed a return to pre-crisis unemployment levels by 4 years, per @KittyRichardsDC. Federal relief for state and local governments needs to happen yesterday. wsj.com/articles/coron…

The #TrueNewDeal from @rooseveltinst is a series of policy proposals that address the immediate needs of the #COVID19 crisis while also shifting power structures and (re)building the institutions necessary to seed lasting change. bit.ly/2XwXTZ3

Justice for #JanariRicks looks like #DefundCPD While we were holding space for love & healing. Hearing testimonies from children that want to grow up w/o violence & trauma, we learned that CPD shot someone. It’s past time to #AbolishPolice & take control of our resources & hoods!

If your rules include you shooting our youth, you can't expect people to play by your rules #ChicagoProtests

Chicago officials keep dipping into the accounts of the city's top economic development program - aka TIFs - whenever they want $ for something else. They even talk about a TIF "surplus." The money is supposed to go to neighborhoods needing investment. chicago.suntimes.com/2020/8/7/21357…

The Fed is not supposed to be changing the rules of its programs so that the President’s favorite oil and gas companies can get access to billions of dollars in public money. Watch my questions for the Fed today: youtube.com/watch?v=HRehTn…

Great summary by @ThePlumLineGS of a new Roosevelt Institute report on a New Deal for the Covid era. We have big problems that require big, structural solutions.
.@GregTSargent

Even as our national disaster is deepening due to Trump's depraved incompetence, this gives Joe Biden a major opening to speak to the country in a truly FDR like fashion. A new report from the @rooseveltinst lays out a blueprint. I wrote about it here: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…

From one of our members. They keep receipts. "Currently listening to Dr. Jackson peddle the hybrid model, I'm at the 'rapidly rising anger' level. She insists that community input is crucial..."
