I went looking for the Marxist list of demands

which I missed if it was posted on the boards here.

I found some demands on:

https://www.blacklivesmatterchicago.com/10-demands-of-blmchi/

1. CLOSE HOMAN SQUARE

We demand the immediate closing of Homan Square (and all other unknown “black sites”) where over 7,000 people were "disappeared.”

1. CPAC NOW

We demand the immediate implementation of an elected Civilian Police Accountability Council (CPAC) with mandated inclusion of survivors and families of victims of police torture and violence – voted in by each neighborhood. We reject appointees and bourgeois election proposals, which expand the reach of the state to prevent the power of the people.

1. NO COPS IN SCHOOL

Cancel CPD contract with CPS. Fund restorative practices in all schools. Additional social workers and student support personnel in our schools. Make all schools Sustainable Community Schools.

1. ACCOUNTABILITY FOR POLICE MURDER & TORTURE

We demand immediate firing & prosecution of all police officers & government officials involved in torture, killing and the cover ups of the murders of Pierre Loury & Ronald Johnson. We demand revoking Dante Servin’s pension for the murder of Rekia Boyd & revoking of pensions of all CPD officers who committed torture.

1. JUSTICE FOR ALL KILLED BY POLICE

We demand the name of officers involved in killing anyone in the City of Chicago for the duration of the Chicago Police force. We demand the reopening of all closed cases. We need to know the full breadth of brutality.

1. FIRE MURDEROUS AND ABUSIVE COPS

We demand the immediate firing of CPD officers: Kevin Fry, George Hernandez and Robert Rialmo for the murders of Cedric Chatman, Ronald Johnson, Bettie Jones and Quintonio LeGrier – and we demand criminal charges of murder for each. We demand immediate firing of Officers Murphy and Lopez for brutally beating and tasing Pastor Catherine Brown.

1. END YOUTH INCARCERATION

We demand the immediate closing of the Cook County Juvenile Detention Center, the largest juvenile prison in the country.

1. DEFUND THE POLICE

We demand immediate disinvestment in CPD and a reallocation of the operating funds currently allocated toward policing, which represent 40% of the City’s operating budget and result in $4 million a day spent on policing.

1. INVEST IN COMMUNITY RESOURCES

We demand policing funds be re-invested in our communities through the reopening of the 50 schools closed, reopening of the mental health centers that were closed, housing for the homeless or nearly homeless, funding for crisis centers, free drug treatment and recovery centers, and a jobs program for all who are unemployed or underemployed.

1. RELEASE IMPRISONED JON BURGE TORTURE SURVIVORS

We demand the immediate release of all torture survivors still in prison. Former CPD Commander Jon Burge & his henchmen tortured over 100 Black & Latinos (the youngest known was 13). Some still remain in prison despite the City admitting that they were tortured. Free them now!

On December 7, 2015, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), Civil Rights Division, Special Litigation Section, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois, jointly initiated an investigation of the City of Chicago’s Police Department (CPD) and the Independent Police Review Authority (IPRA).

In early 2016, the City began a pilot program for body-worn cameras, and reported recently that the expansion of the program will be accelerated so that all officers will be wearing these cameras by the end of 2017.

We found profoundly low morale nearly every place we went within CPD. Officers generally feel that they are insufficiently trained and supported to do their work effectively.

But even within this context, we, in consultation with several active law enforcement experts, found that CPD officers engage in a pattern or practice of using force, including deadly force, that is unreasonable. We found further that CPD officers’ force practices unnecessarily endanger themselves and others and result in unnecessary and avoidable shootings and other uses of force.

REPORT RELEASED JANUARY 13, 2017

right before Trump took office

The LGBT movement is HEAVILY involved in this movement.

If you visit their "partner links" the issues seem like real problems and then you read… how it involves the LGBT COMMUNITY.

OUR HERSTORY

Assata’s Daughters (“AD”) first formed in 2015 as a volunteer-based collective of Black women, femmes, and gender non-conforming people, to address a shortage of programming and community for women-identified, femme, and gender non-conforming young Black people in Chicago.

AD was founded, planned, and operated by Black women, femmes, and gender non-conforming people to carry on the tradition of radical liberatory activism encompassed by Assata Shakur, to train up others in the radical political tradition of Black feminism, and to learn how to organize on the ground around the demand for Black liberation, particularly a demand for abolition.

In 2018, AD shifted from a collective-model to a formal organizational structure with a board and staff. At the bequest of those we served, the organization has now broadened its scope to provide lessons to young men and boys on toxic notions of masculinity, dismantling patriarchal systems of oppression, and understanding the impact of both on interpersonal relationships.

AD continues to be an abolitionist organization led by Black women using a Black queer feminist lens and relationship-based tactics to organize bases of young Black people in divested-from areas of Chicago.

MCI-Norfolk is a medium security prison which stands next to the now defunct Bay State Correctional Center. Between the two lies a sea of concertina wire, fences and concrete walls. There are three facilities in this short two-mile expanse: MCI-Norfolk, MCI-Cedar Junction (formerly known as MCI-Walpole), and Pondville Correctional Center. Over 2,000 people are held on this small stretch of land.

In the early 1990’s, prisoners at MCI Norfolk began to report that their drinking water began to smell strongly of chlorine. Water used by prisoners is locally sourced from wells operated by the Department of Correction.

The 2016 report, which contained a list of ailments ranging from gastric cancers to skin lesions, was supplied to David Abel of The Boston Globe. In June of 2017, Abel published an exposé documenting the ongoing failure of the DOC to provide prisoners with safe, clean water.

(it also addresses LBGT issues)

In coordination with members inside, the #DeeperThanWater coalition was formed in June of 2017 to support the efforts of prisoners at MCI-Norfolk. The outside membership is comprised of a group of local organizations ranging from prison abolition organizations to socialist groups, public health researchers, and environmental justice activists.

On a personal note about these organizations

that talk about "toxic masculinity"

it enrages me

As a woman, I find aggressive and oppressive women exceedingly offensive.

I consider men as the strength, rock, and protection of women and children.

Given half a chance, men will become their most noble selves. If there is a problem, it is that they have given up on having real dignity and must deal with their EMASCULATED lives.

More often, men don't learn the skills of leadership and master skills and couldn't even train a dog if they got one. In fact, that is a good place to learn management, by understanding animals. Dogs want to love you, which is a good place to start.

Black men, white men, and even COPS

need to learn the skills of working with people who aren't like them

and WOMEN aren't like them, are they.

This makes marriage the most perfect place to learn about loving towards all living things.

can't promise it won't happen again

but needed to say it for context

I'm a goddam woman not a goddam idiot
