We the citizens and voters of Chicago's 43rd Ward demand that the City Council leave our ward intact and as it is. We reject the proposed map that carves our community into FOUR separate wards. This re-map would dilute our political voice - we have long stood for good government and independent politics in Lincoln Park. It would make community planning a chaos and negate years of grassroots planning efforts. No thank you!
I really never expected to see this kind of energy when I first put this down on paper. This growth is entirely because you all decided that our neighborhood deserves to stay whole. Seeing the momentum shift like this is overwhelming and I am just so grateful to be part of the work you are doing.

Ridiculous idea. Leave our neighborhood alone. We already have enough politics causing headaches in this city without carving us up like a turkey.

Lived in Lincoln Park my whole life and this is just a power grab. Don't break up our ward.

This map makes zero sense!!! Why mess with a good thing just to get more control. Keep the 43rd together.
