Media needs to be held accountable for constantly reporting the rising number of shootings in Chicago, but no mention of disinvestment in those same communities. You can’t highlight violence and not speak on the adversaries that engineer that kind of environment.
I can’t stop crying. 😭 We did it!!!! 2 years of our lives. We love our neighborhood so much. Thank you from the deepest layer of my soul to everyone who helped.

THE SOUTHEAST SIDE, LITTLE VILLAGE, SOUTH SHORE, ALTGELD GARDENS, PILSEN, McKinley PARK. ALL MATTER.
WE TOLD YOU WE WOULDNT GIVE UP. Our people all over Chicago deserve better than to keep being polluted on. Period. We all did that. 🤍
Just got word tons of people sick @ Cook County jail. Some sick for 4 days now w/ symptoms and not a single covid test yet. Just vitals. This is goofy and those people aren’t disposable.
If you have a loved one please call (773) 674-7488 to demand they provide testing ASAP.

They banned Chicago kids from being at Millenium Park after 1 shooting quicker than they banned assault rifles that murdered 19 innocent children in Texas.
Crazy.

Please stop with the “where is the outrage for..” when talking about shooting victims, especially directed at community organizers. We are mad AND tired man. & instead of projecting get y’all ass up and help on the ground. Solutions are proposed, we need help getting them passed.
Still can’t believe it 🥺 — in case you missed it, here is the

#StopGeneralIron
campaign. I’m on at the 12min mark. I hope I made my comrades + the SE side proud💚
Let me make it clear. WE got us here. We educated our ppl. We organized. Our OGs guided us, we used those tools and decided to take a stand and say no more neglect. No more abuse. No more increase in pollution. We did this. NOT they government.

therapy.
It started with learning how to take my parents of a pedestal (they didn’t ask to be on) and accept + love them for who they are.
Then it trickled down to my friendships and it was super easy from there.
People who can tap into their heart with ease & without intentional effort how does it feel to do so? Even those who finally mastered that art, what are your favorite tips that helped you be in a consistent state of openness, compassion & vulnerability?
I would love to hear!
We told you we’d be back if you kept playing with our lives. This isn’t just a Southeast side fight this is for ALL communities in Chicago facing environmental racism. We are not your air filters. It ends now.

Great news today. My dad told me he’s putting my name on the deed for my childhood home and it’ll be my house moving forward.
If you know me you know this is all I’ve worked so hard for for the past few months. I can’t even cry I’m so happy. I’ll have my very own home 2019. ❤️
We live in a country where a white man having a bad day can go on a shooting spree and live to tell the story. Adam Toledo was 13 years old and was shot and murdered by the Chicago Police Dept.
Defund the fckn police.
It passed it passed it passed 🥺😭💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 so proud of all the orgs and teams behind this. Policy rooted in community feedback and safety was passed today. Historic win.

I was omw to the Jordan event when I found her. So I drove around with her in my car to get her out of the cold and see if anyone was looking for her. No luck so I went back home w/ her. Gave her a bath. Good food. Named her Yoko for the time being.
