Chicago Public Schools are grossly underfunded, but the city still insists on spending tens of millions of dollars to have racist and violent cops in schools.

Email your Alderman to demand that they add their name to the Police Free Schools ordinance, which would permanently keep cops out of our public schools.

More info on school police, from the youth-led #CopsOutCPS coalition:

• Even while police incidents overall have cut in half in the past decade, they continue to target Black students at 4 times the rate of white students in CPS.

• The 180 School Resource Officers and 21 School Liaison Supervisors assigned to CPS have a combined total of at least 2,354 misconduct complaint records on file against them.

• If re-allocated, the $33 million currently allotted to 180 SROs in CPS could fund positions for 317 social workers, 314 school psychologists, or 322 nurses.

Tell your Alderman to do the right thing and sign up as a sponsor of the Police Free Schools Ordinance in City Council.

The current sponsors of the ordinance are: Roderick Sawyer (6), Jeanette Taylor (20), Carlos Ramirez-Rosa (35), Daniel La Spata (1), Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25), Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez (33), Andre Vasquez (40), Matt Martin (47), Maria Hadden (49), Michael Rodriguez (22), Leslie Hairston (5), Susan Sadlowski Garza (10), George Cardenas (12), and Roberto Maldonado (26). If your alderman is already a sponsor, CLICK HERE to thank them for their support!
