So much #pilsen drama going around ahead of the 2023 #ChicagoElections cycle officially starting in a couple weeks.
I won't go into it all here, but it's worth recapping (and contextualizing) some of the major news from this week. 🧵

The @25thWardIPO celebrated "4 years [of] building" with a fundraiser last night that was also billed a "relaunch and rebrand". Considering it was just 2 years ago they didn't have enough members 2 form a steering committee, "relaunch" seems more fitting
They spent most of the primary organizing *checks notes* outside the new ward boundaries and failed to even pass an INTERNAL organizational endorsement of @YanezJavy after their leadership apparently chose to leave @UWFIllinois in protest of their endorsement of @SenatorCelina
One of the most powerful moments from today's #CopsOutCPS #Bhangra was when @kdjzuz of @PilsenAlliance pointed out that #SendhilRevuluri lives in a gentrified condo on a gentrified #Pilsen block (photo by @TomSchuba) #PoliceFreeSchools 
After fighting the gentrification of her neighborhood for years @kdjzuz notes, she now has to protest outside of a wealthy new development to get the gentrifier who lives there to agree to keep police out of her school. #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools #PilsenNoSeVende
Powerful, painful, and telling. Why do wealthy adults support police in the schools of poor/working youth? Why do folks like #SendhilRevuluri think they can say #BlackLivesMatter without listening to the demands of Black students and youth? #CopsOutCPS #PoliceFreeSchools
