Mayor Rahm Emanuel has disproportionately cut jobs of people of color in low-income Chicago communities. All employees are City of Chicago residents who live, shop, and pay taxes to the City of Chicago. Mayor Emanuel's actions seem to lack an awareness and sensitivity to these communities' needs and to their historical experience.
I am currently organizing a meeting with city officials to demand a reversal of these job cuts. Send an email to your local representative today to let them know we are paying attention to their response.

The scale of this response confirms the community is finished with these unfair job cuts. Post the link to your Facebook page right now and text three friends to keep this pressure building.
