This is because the SAME DAY in 2019 City Council approved a $95mil police academy they also approved a $20mil tax break for @HilcoGlobal to demolish the coal plant. blockclubchicago.org/2019/03/13/con…
It's no coincidence these battles were tied in 2019, nor that they're tied under #COVID19. Both corporations and police/prisons are taking advantage of the virus to undermine the health of Black/brown/poor/working communities #HellNoHilco #NoCopAcademy chicago.suntimes.com/coronavirus/20…
It makes NO SENSE for the city to give millions of $$$ to private polluters and the militarized police that protect them while we are in the midst of pandemic, struggling to meet the most basic healthcare needs of poor/working communities #COVID19 #HellNoHilco #NoCopAcademy

This is what streets in Little Village, Chicago look like right now.

@HilcoGlobal took advantage of #COVID19--a RESPIRATORY virus--to demolish coal plant in an immigrant community already struggling with respiratory health #HellNoHilco #LaVillitaRespira #EnvironmentalRacism Image
When @HilcoGlobal tries to claim that a spike in respiratory issues in the local community are complications from #COVID19 and not due to their reckless and irresponsible demolition, remember this moment #LaVillitaRespira #HellNoHilco #EnvironmentalRacism
"Despite community objections and calls for #Lightfoot to halt the demolition because #COVID19 is impacting the respiratory health of people across the globe, city officials permitted Hilco Redevelopment Partners to topple the smokestack." #HellNoHilco blockclubchicago.org/2020/04/11/aft…
