The Documentary

#NoCopAcademy was a Black youth-led, adult supported campaign to mobilize against Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plans for a massive at-the-time $95 million training center for Chicago police in West Garfield Park. This 59 minute story chronicles the grassroots’ refusal to this expansion of policing and the demand for accountability for decades of violence and resources for schools and youth.
