City Council is today at 10am! You can watch live at the Chicago City Clerk Anna Valencia’s site chicityclerk.com
One of the items that will come up at the end of the meeting is the Resolution Honoring India’s Democracy that I worked on with residents from our ward and the Chicago Coalition for Human Rights in India.
If you were wondering what the protest outside my office was about on Monday, here’s a good read from Nausheen Husain and John Byrne of the Chicago Tribune.
Religious freedom and freedom from persecution based on caste, class or race are core tenets of democracy and are worth defending. Thank you to Chicago’s South Asian community and residents in our ward who asked me to lead with them on this and trusted me to see it through.

My statement on #ChicagoIndiaResolution: For months now, we've heard from public commenters about Resolution 2020-583 Celebrating India's Democracy. I introduced the original non-binding resolution in July.
After hearing concerns from the Indian government, the Chicago Coalition for Human Rights in India and my office agreed to make some changes out of consideration for their concerns. Our substitute resolution passed unanimously out of committee in February.
Some of my colleagues have told me that they don't feel comfortable voting in support of this resolution because they don't have a good understanding of the issues being brought to them. I get it. When 49th ward residents brought me the request, I was hesitant.
