Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times Karen Lewis’ passing, and the remembrances of her unending fight for social justice for Chicagoans now being shared, remind Chicagoans of what we so desperately need today from our self-proclaimed progressive leaders: an unwavering commitment and an unstinting campaign demanding that public officials rebuild Chicago’s institutional infrastructure in every dimension that matters to its residents most reliant upon it. And, if that requires pushing these officials out of their comfort zone or even their office so be it. For it’s clear that whether it’s delivering vaccinations, abating crime in Chicago’s neighborhoods, schooling the city’s children, or getting their out-of-work parents unemployment checks, Illinois’ governments are failing Chicago’s working families.
