Yesterday, the Chicago City Council's Committee on Zoning, Landmarks, and Building Standards - chaired by Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa - approved over 2,200 housing units. Here's a rundown of some of the approved zoning changes:
"Alderman Raymond Lopez has not been a member of our caucus for nearly five years, since he left at the beginning of the 2019 to 2023 term. We reject Alderman Lopez' anti-Black and racist post disparaging Black leaders and Black leadership during Black History Month..."
We are twenty-one days in to Black History Month. Can anyone tell me what Black leaders have done to elevate the Black community?

Abortion care remains a legal right in the State of Illinois – because in Illinois we know that abortion care is healthcare, and healthcare and bodily autonomy are human rights. The Dobbs decision is a national travesty, an assault on our fundamental human rights.
