Committees
Community Safety and Accountability Committee:
Co-Chairs Jane Ramsey and D. Clancy
Contributes to these issues by supporting sensible gun safety legislation at all levels of government; ensuring that the Department of Justice consent decree regarding Chicago Police Department reform is carried out; working with community groups and presenting speakers on these issues; increasing public and private investment in economically disadvantaged communities; and informing the CWTA general membership about them so that they can take educated action. Additionally, we actively support the newly-organized Chicago Police District Councils and the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability, which we helped create with a citywide coalition.
Health Committee:
Co-Chairs Mary Driscoll and Deb Rosenberg
Works in the movement for universal health care; focusing on health equity, standing for women’s health and reproductive justice, and opposing cuts in the ACA, Medicaid, and Medicare.
