Aldermanic prerogative- fucking us up since at least the 1940s (I just read this part today in “color of law”)

Chicagoans - please take a moment to tell the OIG to investigate aldermanic prerogative in housing development Survey closes Dec 31 igchicago.org/2026-annual-...

I think it would be cool if Waguespack enforced sidewalk clearing in his ward along one of the busiest streets in town and across from the library @peoples32nd.bsky.social @betterstreetschicago.org

A WBEZ analysis of city tax data and publicly available economic data, reviewed by four economic and labor experts, found a lack of evidence that Chicago’s previous head tax, or its repeal, is to blame for job loss or growth.

Combined Cash on Hand for all 50 members of Chicago City Council as of October 1st, 2025: $8,358,115 Combined Cash on Hand for the Waguespack 27 as of October 1st, 2025: $6,309,842 (75.49%) Selling out average Chicagoans has never been more lucrative!! 🤑🤑🤑🤑

To this point, now that the map is official, unfortunately for the 32nd Ward less tape always seems to be cut when it comes to eliminating hurdles to build housing in our ward. That pink 'Zone 8' with all the Waguespack imposed restrictions definitely sticks out. (Map by Steven Vance)

Lake Research Partners poll on the Chicago Budget is genuinely giving me some hope on the situation Chicagoans just are NOT buying what Waguespack and co is selling

Alderman Scott Waguespack is going to fill the Christkindlmarket with cement like he did the rat hole, isn’t he.

We're actually cancelling today's canvass- enjoy the snow and stay warm⛄️☕️

Tonight!

Children at my son’s Spanish immersion preschool in Chicago bore witness to a teacher being violently assaulted by ICE agents who entered their school, armed with weapons, earlier this month. Miss Diana was abducted by ICE on the morning of November 5 as she prepared to start her shift for the day.

beautiful day to be out canvassing the 32nd Ward for Partcipatory Budgeting! More democracy for aldermanic menu budgets: more public art! more community say! @peoples32nd.bsky.social

This Sunday we're meeting at Hexe Coffee at 11!

JUST IN: Chicago @SBWorkersUnited Baristas rally for today’s #RedCupRebellion to remind Starbucks that it’s there’s #NoContractNoCoffee — Don’t shop at Starbucks and take action now! seiu.co/NoStarbucks

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

“But while New York is deciding to part ways with a tradition that has held back affordable housing, the recent fight over ADUs is an example of Chicago doubling down on it.” map shows that tradition in action, there are so many different sets of rules for homeowners based on who your alder is

Only 1 week until the D19 Mutual Aid Fundraiser on 11/19 at the Reveler! If you haven't RSVP'd yet, now's the time to support the mutual aid programs have consistently stood by our immigrant communities.

Join us in solidarity with D19 Mutual Aid and our immigrant communities at the Reveler in Roscoe Village on November 19th and stand up to ICE! We'll hear from volunteers from D19 and One People's Campaign about ways to get involved. RSVP link in bio!

A great article on the benefits of Participatory Budgeting! Chicago has PB on a ward-by-ward basis, and we think Ald. Waguespack should join the 14 wards that have it. Join us for our next canvass for our referendum campaign for PB at Heritage Bikes & Coffee on Sunday!

"What has happened today is domestic terrorism!" says a City of Chicago employee, who's a parent of a child at Rayitos del Sol day care center, where a teacher was violently abducted by ICE this morning. It is a violation of rights of children, parents, and teachers! www.youtube.com/live/ahjU7LH...

Allowing CPD to spend unlimited sums of taxpayer money is a “crazy way to run a city,” said Justin Marlowe, a professor in the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy, and the director of the Center for Municipal Finance.

This morning, #ICE abducted a preschool teacher without a warrant — in front of children. I’m hosting a press conference RIGHT NOW with @durbin.senate.gov and @ramirez.house.gov. Tune in here.

As many eyes will be on court downtown today, there are early indications ICE may be active in this area again. Agents reportedly snatched a daycare worker in Roscoe Village this morning.

Currently, however, 32nd Ward residents cannot. Come join our weekly canvass this Sunday at Heritage Bikes & Coffee to put a referendum on the ballot for Participatory Budgeting for us, too! 32nd.org/pb_campaign

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier). People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.

Seems to us that there's a big difference between Ald. Waguespack's initial claim that Mayor Johnson has been *hiding the EY report from him and the public* and the new line that he's seen it, but would like to be briefed on it.

Last Wednesday was so popular, we're doing it again! We're hosting another whistle party this coming Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 6pm. Meet your friends and neighbors, help distribute whistles, and fold and pack instructional zines around the area. See you Wednesday the 12th at 6p.

Weird how you can always spot the 32nd ward on a map when it comes to this stuff

As covered here in the Loyola Phoenix, the 49th Ward launched the first Participatory Budgeting process in the U.S. in 2009. If you'd like to help us bring it to the 32nd Ward, too, join us this Sunday at Ipsento 606 in Bucktown at 11, and help us canvass! loyolaphoenix.com/2025/10/part...

We urge Ald. Waguespack to reconsider his position - asking corporations to chip in more is the alternative to taxing families or painful layoffs. Contact him and let him know that if tough decisions are to be made, he should make the ones that benefit families and workers.

Ruben Torres reunited with Ofelia and family ❤️

See you tonight!

Solidarity to the workers at our Bucktown Starbucks on Armitage picketing today and to workers throughout Chicago! @sbworkersunited.org

We encourage all interested parties to attend Ald. Waguespack's meeting tomorrow to discuss the Foundry Park project, replacing a portion of the former Lincoln Yards project, and to be an advocate for more housing. The meeting is Wednesday at 6pm, Whirlyball, 1825 W Webster.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our canvass this week! See you next week at Ipsento 606!

In an effort to ensure community stability and safety, we're hosting our first whistle party this coming Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 6pm. Meet your friends and neighbors, and help distribute whistles and instructional zines around the area. We're the best advocates we've got. Wednesday at 6p.

One of the important aspects of defending against ICE is canvassing businesses, letting them know their rights, including that they can lock their doors and not let ICE in without a *judicial* warrant, signed by a judge. (They have other "administrative" warrants that don't mean squat)

What's Waguespack been up to lately? Maybe us wistfully commenting on how our ward doesn't have community meetings or ward nights like our neighbors is having an impact. Want to help us keep up the pressure and push him to join the 14 aldrs that have participatory budgeting too? 32nd.org/PB

It'd be nice to hear more from Waguespack on this as well considering how affected his constituents are by Cortland Street!
