AART’s Statement on Ald. Chantia Lewis’ Removal from Office

As an organization that primarily supports District 9, this news is disappointing. Far Northwest Side residents already feel disconnected from elected officials, and this represents yet another obstacle in their struggle to make their voices heard.

AART will continue to fight for the people's decision-making power and invest in residents who want to lead, no matter who is in office. We will continue to organize, build power, and meet the needs of Northwest Side residents.

We are available to connect with concerned residents and will monitor this situation closely. If you have any questions about how this may impact you or your community, email us at info@africanamericanroundtable.org.
