Juneteenth Canvassing Kick Off BBQ

Start: Friday, June 17, 2022 6:00 PM

End: Friday, June 17, 2022 8:00 PM

Join #DefundCPD for a BBQ in Woodlawn as we kick off our canvassing for #TreatmentNotTrauma!

Defund CPD is excited to join the Collaborative for Community Wellness’ citywide campaign for #TreatmentNotTrauma. We will be canvassing to garner support for investing in responses to mental health crises rooted in care not criminalization. We are calling on the Mayor and City Council to:

  • Re-open public mental health centers
  • Fully fund non-police mental health crisis response units made up of social workers and paramedics who will respond to crises (instead of police)
  • Establish a 24 hour hotline to serve people in crises

Chicagoans deserve real investments in true solutions to ensure the safety, health and wellness of our communities. Join us this weekend & throughout the summer!

Come through Fri, Jun 17 at 6pm for free food and to hear more from leadership about what this year will look like, why we've joined the TNT referendum coalition, and how you can plug into the fight!
