Residents, Organizers Push Feds To Block City Deal To Give Public Housing Land To Pro Soccer Team blockclubchicago.org/2023/03… THREAD
"It’s public land to house people, not make profit for the city,” Washington said. “I thought turning Black people and Brown people into cash was done, but clearly it is not..." (3/?)
As early voting is occurring, take a read about how the different candidates respond around accessible housing issues:

Environmental justice is also housing justice! These systemic issues are intersectional. When we help one, we naturally help the others.
“I’d love to see not only Chicago’s Department of Environment return, but I want to see an Office of Environmental Justice,” says Cheryl Johnson, executive director of @pcrchi
Early voting is happening NOW! When you think about who to vote for, WHO is going to show up for your community? WHO is going to make sure they are taking care of their people? WHO will uplift the voices of Chicagoans? And WHO is going to minimize the gap with accessible housing?
Early voting has begun! The runoff election is on April 4, two weeks from today. Make sure you use your voice by voting during this runoff election. Find your closest polling place at ChicagoElections.gov.
