It's important to remember that wards in high crime neighborhoods are incredibly gerrymandered. Each alder here is representing fragments of numerous communities. Important to bear in mind before conflating wards with "communities."

When you talk about true advocacy, equity & wraparound services there isn't someone who fights harder than @stacydavisgates. @CTULocal1 is lucky to have such a powerhouse at the helm. Considering the housing insecurity levels of Chicago Public School students this is a great idea

The debate on supporting funding for new arrivals in Chicago is so tragic, but that’s America. All I know is that when the needs of poor Black people are pitted against the needs of poor Latine people, the only winners are the wealthy interests controlling the system.

All we get is war.
