1/Who is the @AAUW and why is the candidate questionnaire from @NapervilleAAUW important to the upcoming municipal elections for #mayor and #citycouncil in #naperville?
2/AAUW stands for American Association of University Women, which was founded in 1881 by a small group of female college graduates focused on opening doors for women’s career advancement & to encourage more women to pursue higher education
3/The AAUW is a contemporary of Naperville itself… Joseph Naper is credited with founding Naperville along the DuPage River in 1831 & was elected the president of the board when the village of Naperville was incorporated in 1857. Naperville organized as a city in 1890
1/Several campaigns for municipal positions (#mayor, #citycouncil) in #Naperville are hyping rising #crime as the #1 issue. Their platforms are a solution in search of a problem. The assertion that crime is rising or prevalent in Naperville is simply NOT TRUE.
2/About to drop some stats but 1st some context for the numbers. In mid ‘21, @NapervillePD converted to a new crime data reporting system (NIBRS replaced UCR) per federal mandate. NIBRS is more comprehensive: counts up to 10 offenses per incident vs only the most serious offense;
3/in many categories NIBRS tracks the number of victims vs incidents; some crime definitions changed; NIBRS counts attempted crimes not just completed crimes. As a result, pre-July 2021 data is not comparable to post-July 2021 data and NIBRS is more encompassing (ie higher count)

In #Naperville, which only recently went blue, we get mostly support but some push back. Here is how we do it:
Smile and wave at everyone
Ask people walking by if they are voting (or if they look young, if they are registered to vote./1

If no, we hand them a half-sheet of paper with 5 min online registration websites.
Sometimes we remind people we are there EVERY night until midterms, 6-7 and invite them to join us.
Or say, Vote, Midterms, Nov 6th
Most say yes, thumbs up, etc./2

Re the negatives:
If a car drives by and yells TRUMP! We yell back LOVE!
One said "build the wall." We said, "WE ARE THE WALL"
Head shakes and thumbs down are ignored.
One drove by and said, "Seriously?" "Yes," we yelled at the back of his/3
