This week, I was endorsed by @RobertJPeters and stood with public safety advocates and harm survivors as we released our Plan for a Safer Chicago. It’s time for a new approach to addressing crime and trauma in Chicago — one rooted in investment and lifting our communities.

The 2nd or 3rd time I met Dr. Black he agreed to come to @city_bureau’s (18th) Public Newsroom—so I picked him up at his house, drove us to @BuildCoffee and he took us through a lesson w/ @AudreyNPetty and a cafe full of folks—still have that rundown here citybureau.org/notebook/2020…
