📣 39th ward community members are demanding that Alderman Nugent meet this terrifying moment by engaging with her constituents in good faith and showing up materially for our vulnerable neighbors. Instead, she outsources this work to neighboring alders and community organizations who are at far higher risk that she is. For the alderman to not use her position to actively resist ICE at this point makes her complicit in their terror.

🗣️ Alderman Nugent, we demand that you listen to your constituents, take our concerns seriously, and do the work to protect our neighbors!

🗓️ Readers, if you're a 39th ward constituent who wants to see more from our Alder, we invite you to join our next meeting on November 19th at 8pm on zoom. Register at bit.ly/meet39wnu
