Chicago, July 4: Block Party to Fight Austerity at Rahm’s House
Chicagoans Gather to Protest Budget Cuts, Corporate Welfare, Call for One Term Mayor
This 4th of July, Chicagoans opposed to Mayor Emanuel’s extreme budget cuts to public services, and policies of corporate welfare, will peacefully converge at the Mayor’s house, at 4228 N Hermitage, to speak out against these austerity measures and celebrate citywide resistance to his mayorship.
“At a time when working people are already struggling to make ends meet, Mayor Emanuel is eliminating thousands of jobs across the city every year,” says Greg Goodman, event organizer. “The loss of these jobs throws families and communities even further into crisis, and creates a chain effect that ripples out to negatively impact an ever growing number of Chicagoans. In the midst of all this, Rahm is systematically dismantling the social programs that ordinary people rely on to help them through times of crisis, and selling our public institutions and resources off to corporate profiteers.”
After gathering at Chase Park (Ashland and Leland) at 12pm on July 4th, Chicagoans fed up with Mayor Emanuel’s austerity plans will hold a peaceful block party on his street (4200 block of Hermitage). The event will include music, dancing, and speakers.
“People who are barely getting by are being punished for the mistakes of the super-rich,” says local organizer Kelly Hayes. “That’s what austerity is. We’re going to let Mayor Emanuel know we didn’t create this crisis, and we’re not going to pay for it.”
