CCPSA District Council 017
Albany Park
"As a community organizer with One Northside's Police Accountability team, I helped to right the ECPS ordinance and get it passed. Once it was passed, I ran for the District Council position to make sure that it was implemented in a way that was in keeping with our focus on Accountability. My priorities have been to work on the Nominations Committee to make sure the CCPSA Commissioners had that same focus on holding CPD accountable. I have also tried to be present in the community so our neighbors know the mechanisms for having accountability."
