Thank You To The Alderpeople Who Supported The ECPS Ordinance!
On July 21, Community Renewal Society, working with the Grassroots Alliance on Police Accountability and Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, and the tens of thousands of community members they represent, achieved an unprecedented victory in policing reform in Chicago with the passing of the Empowering Communities for Public Safety ECPS Ordinance.

Please take a moment today on behalf of the communities that have been most impacted by policing to email your alderperson to either thank them for their vote or share your disappointment if they did not vote in support of this transformational legislation. We need to remind our alderpersons why this ordinance is necessary.
