DEAR MITCH-I stand in firm solidarity with protesters fighting for our unhoused siblings. While peacefully protesting the draconian measures taken by you to evict the houseless citizens occupying the park, they had their 1st Amendment Rights violently trampled by an out-of-control, militarized police force on your orders. The images we have seen are reprehensible and should disturb every freedom-fighting citizen, as they do me. Your failed leadership to effectively manage the housing crisis in CD13, and those who find themselves unhoused, grows in increasingly shameful ways, as demonstrated this past week. You would not have felt the need to go to these extremes had you been doing your job in the first place: protecting the most vulnerable in our district, instead of cozying up to developers.
