In a roundtable discussion with community news media yesterday, Mayor Lori Lightfoot implored the residents of Chicago to take the Coronavirus pandemic seriously and outlined the city’s plan to address the Coronavirus Pandemic.
"We did this historically by using government as a tool to create and enforce race-based discrimination that killed, crushed, and systematically reduced the lives of too many over generations,". In a conversation about the legacy of poverty in Chicago with Darryl Holliday, from City Bureau, the Mayor stated how she plans to end poverty in a generation. "Poverty is killing us," Lightfoot said. "Literally and figuratively killing us. All of us."
