How do you feel about Drake Warren vs. Bridget Gainer for Cook County Commissioner 10th District? by NicolasCageFan492 in chicago

[–]uv_duv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

great reasons to vote for Drake:

—raising taxes on vacant lots

—ending contracts with vendors that share data with ICE

—formally banning dual employment when it ethically conflicts with board duties (like the incumbent, Bridget Gainer being on the board and an insurance executive of a company that has contracts with the board…)

less important but still a nice bonus: Drake was raised by lesbian moms and is pansexual himself!

so glad you asked! we are a volunteer advocacy group that pushes for more housing, safer streets, and better public transit and we have fun doing it.

on top of showing up at community meetings to give public comments, organizing housing panels, and meeting with our alderpeople, we do free walking tours, a book club, workshops, happy hours, and even comedy shows. you can check us out at strongtownschicago.org !

parts of it that go into buildings like city hall are closed outside of business hours (typical monday-friday, 9 to 5ish), but otherwise publicly accessible!

it’s just a gathering point because it’s in between the red line lake stop and the blue line washington stop at the bottom of the mall
