Groups pushing for civilian oversight of CPD lambast Mayor Lori Lightfoot after City Council committee delays vote on proposed ordinances

“The mayor said she’d work with the community and pass an ordinance in her first 100 days,” said Desmon Yancy, GAPA spokesman and an organizer with the Inner City Muslim Action Network, or IMAN. “But now, two years later, the mayor rejects community-supported change and wants to go her own way. She campaigned on change and reform, but since being elected, she’s been the biggest obstacle to progress.”
