$5 Million/Day

by Midwest Socialist
October 13, 2020October 13, 2020
Chicago spends nearly 40% of our budget on the police department. That’s 5 million dollars on policing every single day.
That equals five months of mental health services, 18 months of substance abuse treatment, 32 months of violence prevention programs.
What do we get for our money? Invest in people.
Defund police. Demand #CPACnow
