Today, I introduced the “Stop Hate Flyering” ordinance, aiming to combat & deter the rise of hate flyering across the City. I want to make one thing clear: hate has no home in Chicago. For those who choose to commit acts of hate in our communities – you will be held accountable.

Our deepest condolences are with the entire Chicago Fire Department and Lincoln Park’s Engine 55. Please join me in standing with the brave folks in the CFD, and praying for the family of the firefighter who died in the line of duty. Drew Price’s sacrifice will never be forgotten
On behalf of the Fire Commisioner, it is my sad duty to report the passing of our member injured this morning at 2430 Lincoln. Commissioner Nance-Holt will address media at Illinois Masonic. About 945, subject to change.

The threat of a monetary fine as punishment can serve as a strong deterrent for the perpetrators of these flyerings. The legislation prohibits placing these hate flyers on vehicles, doorsteps, and the public way and imposes a fine of up to $1,000.
