Join us this upcoming Saturday as we join Ald. Raymond A. Lopez and have a coffee and conversation at Carmelo's Taco

Thank you to the residents of the 18th Ward for coming out yesterday to talk with District Council 008- CCPSA and Alder. Derrick Curtis. During our Coffee and Conversation the topics were wide ranging and had people from all age groups and backgrounds. We can say there will be no data center at Ford City and Alderman Curtis promised to continue conversations with the community as it pertains to Ford City in the future as needed to keep residents aware of what's going on.
We look forward to our next Coffee and Conversation with Ald. Raymond A. Lopez this upcoming Saturday at Carmelo's Tacos on W. 59th Street in the 15th Ward.

Today, we joined Ald. Quinn, 23rd Ward Alderman Silvana Tabares, State Representative Angelica Guerrero-Cuellar , State Senator Mike Porfirio, the 8th District Chicago Police Department and others to honor the life of Officer Enrique Martinez with a Street Dedication Ceremony. Kudos to all who made this possible.
It was an honor to be there and pay respect to Officer Martinez, his family, and his fellow officers. We know that our officers go out on a daily basis to keep the city as safe as possible even when they have the deck stacked against them with regulations
As mentioned during the ceremony... the ultimate act of selflessness is to give one's life for another. To Officer Martinez you are and forever will be remembered as a shining star for the sacrifice you made to help others. God Bless our Chicago Police Officers!

Thank you 23rd Ward Alderman Silvana Tabares for joining us to drop off pizza to our officers at the 8th District Chicago Police Department. These officers will be working all Memorial Day Weekend to keep Chicago safe.

Reminder, to support our Healthy Life Healthy Mind Event going on today. Triano's Pizza Chicago, Stunod's Pizzeria , and Pop-N-Pizza are opening up at 4pm while Danny's Chicago & Cipriani's Pizza are already open to take orders

Big shout to the students and staff at Hubbard High School for taking part in a public safety conversation with District Council 008- CCPSA . 23rd Ward Alderman Silvana Tabares joined us as well to hear from staff and students.
The opportunity to hear from students as well as staff help us know what they need and want in public safety. Congrats to the seniors not only at Hubbard but all across Chicago on their upcoming graduation. Lastly, thank you to the incredible Hubbard Principal. Principal Altamirano you have been a terrific partner and we hope to continue working with you and your team and students.

Our community engagement continues next week as we host our monthly meeting and head to the 18th Ward to host our next Coffee and Conversation with Ald. Derrick G. Curtis. Flyers attached below

Hosting and attending community events is one of the key things that district councilors can do to hear from residents and educate more about the CCPSA.

Today, District Council 008- CCPSA alongside 12th Ward Alderwoman Julia Ramirez and 8th District Chicago Police Department hosted residents from the 12th Ward. We provided a light breakfast courtesy of Don Rafa Restaurants while talking to residents one on one.

We also stopped by Alderman Derrick G. Curtis Town Hall as City Departments were on hand to address questions from residents.

We continue on with community engagement Saturday with a teen youth forum at Hubbard. Any groups, block clubs, organizations who like to learn more about the CCPSA and District Councils please message us and we will be glad to setup something with your group.
