After months of protests and actions focusing on accountability for Chicago police abuses, one of the many groups rallying for change has unveiled a bold policy platform aimed at improving the lives of black people.
Janae Bonsu, national policy director for BYP100, adds that the agenda serves as a toolkit that, while not exhaustive, will help inform organizing and activist work in the Chicago area and nationally. Making policy demands remains a key priority, Bonsu says, and functions as an important component of large-scale efforts to put the ideas into action.
