We need to take the rent control fight to the state!
"They want our city, but they don't want us" - Alderwoman Taylor wants a city-wide CBA!
If people who were born and raised in Chicago suddenly can't afford to live in their own home, that's not on them - it's on the system!
Alderpeople Jeannette Taylor (20th) and Desmon Yancy (5th) support the CBA ordinance!!! #stopdisplacement
How can anyone afford to stay in a place where rent is 75% of their income? #cbasummit
Let's preserve affordable housing - let's establish a South Shore Loan Fund to for purchases and rehabilitation of vacant single family homes and multi unit buildings!

@kambucknerchi @ObamaCBA If you're wondering why Obama hasn't said a word, read "Silencing, urban growth machines, and the Obama center on Chicago's South side", by Tilman Schwarze and David Wilson. We're being stonewalled. Where is Obama's CBA? Community organizer? Phooey.
@kambucknerchi @ObamaCBA The City signed a CBA, but notably, the Obama foundation has not. This is about gentrification of Woodlawn, South Shore, by the U of C. Lightfoot campaigned on a promise to "take a second look", and now is waffling on those 52 city owned lots. This is a ruse to take Park land.
The Mayor hasn't taken her obligation to create fair & equitable housing seriously; she has yet to fill the seats on the appointed CHA board, and stories like @taylorfor20th waiting 29 years for a housing voucher reply from the city prove there is much work to be done.
I urge the city to set aside all 52 Woodlawn lots, and if that isn't done by the time I take office, I commit to doing so myself. I'll also work w/ the coalition to ensure equitable development in South Shore to protect homeowners, expand tenants rights, and prevent displacement.
We are outside City Hall today with @LB_HopeCenter, @KOCOmmunity, & @northsideaction to demand that Mayor Lightfoot stop the construction of a new high school on Ickes land, a land promised to Black & brown community members for more affordable housing!
This morning, @LB_HopeCenter and other allies demanded the rebuilding of affordable housing for the Harold L. Ike’s site, NOT a high school for the South Loop community! Here’s Rod on the city’s anti-black housing policies and the sale of CHA land to a private company:
Dixon Romeo of @ObamaCBA notes the condo fund is being bankrolled by the city's Affordable Housing Opportunity Fund: "We don't need programs like this that are literally taking money out of funds that could go to affordable housing...and giving it the condo owners."
@ObamaCBA Recommended reading: "Silencing, urban growth machines, and the Obama Presidential center on Chicago's South side", by Tilman Schwarze and David Wilson. No, Obama isn't talking to anyone about it. It's all About gentrifying those neighborhoods. City signed a CBA, Obama hasn't.
Multiple reps of @ObamaCBA are calling into public comment to criticize the South Shore condo preservation pilot, saying it does nothing to help the renters who are being displaced. They're calling for a "comprehensive housing program" to stem displacement in South Shore.
If you're cremated after you die, you can be put into an hourglass and continue to participate in family game night.
HAPPENING NOW: A trio of guys yelling about Jesus at the very long line to get into the Taste of Chicago fest downtown. Many people have been yelling back at them. We'll be keeping an eye on Chicago March for Life scheduled later (there is a pro-choice counterprotest planned).
"Pro-life, that's a lie! You don't care if people die!" There are around 100 counterprotesters here against a fairly dead March for Life. It's 15 minutes til their start time and only a handful of anti-abortion activists have gathered in Chicago.
RevCom just showed up and they're doing a die-in in the street right in front of the plaza. CPD still deciding what to do—this doesn't appear to have been part of the counterprotest plan.
Bit of a chaotic scene as Lieutenant Neckermann tries to convince RiseUp/RevCom to leave the intersection.
This morning I want to highlight another group that is going hard to preserve the Sanctuary! South Side Parks' organizing principle is that parks should be open and accessible for people. I couldn't agree more. southsideparks.org/sanctuary
