lucyparsonslabs.com's Issues

fix blog archive

Right now if you click "blog" everything is in reverse chronological order
screen shot 2017-06-12 at 21 03 19

"Previous" takes you to /blog/page3/ which is clearly wrong

Running list of CPD FOIA violations

Keeping a running list of times CPD has violated our FOIAs is interesting generally and could illuminate patterns, but also could be useful for potential lawsuits. The open question is whether we include anyone's CPD FOIAs or just our own (although what counts as an LPL FOIA seems ambiguous)

Make OO link more prominent

As we get further along with OO, we'll want to make sure that it's as easy as possible for people to get to the interface. I think this means

  • a banner, image, or prominent text on the projects/openoversight/ page linking to OO, and
  • possibly having the index page OO link go directly to the interface.

Redundancy on donation page

On the support page, under one-time for paypal, there is a donate now button as well as a link to our paypal, both of which link to our paypal. Should probably leave only one

Italic webfonts

Seems like our web fonts do not allow for italics right now? Am I missing something? Can this be added? (@jonsatrom)

Add LPL member page

It's kind of weird that there are only four of us on the website given how we have volunteers doing a lot of work for us. I suggest we add a "LPL core member" page to recognize the contributions of the many other people sitting in our Slack and doing great shit for us. This involves pinging people contributing and seeing who is willing to be recognized and under what moniker.

Projects Page has misspellings

Our project page has a JS layover were we talk about Secure Drop and Open Oversight but neither of those spellings are correct.

Revamp /about/ page

Our about page needs some <3. In particular the What We Do section needs much more concrete information about our contributions in the last two years.

DNS post deployment

I assume this also mean we need to update our DNS to point to the new webserver (after we drop the reverse proxy)?

Rename Narcotics Audit to Civil Asset Forfeiture

Right now our business plan has CAF as a project of ours. We should create a generic project page that includes the reader story, the full audit, the MR links, the Reason article, and information about HB 303.

Donations Button

Let's get up a donations button, even if it's Paypal at first it's better than nothing

Add current events page or subsection

The events on the site are largely archival- maybe we should have a section for past events and current events- where we can post links to meetups or Facebook events for Digisec trainings, FOIA workshops, etc.

Warrant Canary outdated

It seems that we have fallen off in updating our Warrant Canary here:

I believe this is simply a technical error, so I am reporting it here as an issue.

homepage edits

Hello: this is my suggestion for a revised text for the homepage:


Since 2015, Lucy Parsons Labs has obtained approximately six hundred checks related to the Chicago Police Department's use of civil asset forfeiture. This page contains a searchable and sortable repository of these records, as well as all the checks we've obtained since 2009. There are links to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, the results of each request, and the check amounts. We also invite you to read our full investigation into CPD's use of civil asset forfeiture in the Chicago Reader.

Our investigation found that the majority of the civil asset forfeiture funds (known as the "1505" fund) went to pay for the everyday prosecution of the War on Drugs. Alarmingly, the 1505 fund has been used to purchase a large portion of the Chicago Police Department's surveillance equipment. This includes controversial equipment such as IMSI catchers (commonly known as Stingrays), Automatic License Plate Readers, "blue light cameras" (or PODs), and PenLINK equipment. You can find surveillance equipment by sorting the categories tab.

The Chicago Police Department collected between $4.7 million and $9.3 million annually from 2009 to 2015. Between January 2010 and March 2016, $16 million, or about 80 percent of these larger payments, was spent on the day-to-day operations of the Bureau of Organized Crime. In 2015, the Bureau of Organized Crime received $77 million in its official budget. That year's additional forfeiture income was $4.7 million, nearly 6 percent of its total budget. Yet the forfeiture fund was already flush with cash from previous years: at the end of October 2015, the bureau had more than $17 million in its forfeiture checking and savings accounts. An internal CPD audit (PDF) obtained by Lucy Parsons Labs breaks down some of BoC expenses by category. In 2010, $267,000 was used for equipment and tools, $28,000 for office supplies, and almost $1 million for telephonic equipment and services.

Note: This is a live document. There are unknowns in the data set due to liberal use of redactions by the Chicago Police's FOIA Department as well as unfulfilled requests. If you would like to submit an FOIA request for missing checks, find checks that have a missing requester name and send an email to info AT lucyparsonslabs DOT com. This audit began using records from 2009 to the present but it is our hope to continue this project into the future.

add community guidelines to webpage

We have a pretty firm community guideline in our bylaws we filed with IRS (no fash, no MRAs, etc). We should add a community guideline to our webpage as well. @r4v5 do you want to take a crack at it?

font in PR #188 breaks our styleguide

I believe this is a holdover from the milestone 0.2 theme migration and doesn't quite look right. Will add as a milestone and discuss with our designer.
