The People’s Map: Chicago’s Independent Ward Map for the People, by the People.
If you, your family, friends, neighbors, and networks push to persuade 10 alders to support The People’s Map, drawn openly and independently, it would trigger a special election to allow Chicago voters to choose which ward map they want and how they’re represented for the next 10 years!
Send a message to your alderperson urging them to introduce and support The People’s Map for a public vote because the people should choose their representatives — our representatives shouldn’t choose their voters: chicagoswards.org/take-action.
Chicagoans will remember if you fail to deliver on the foundational promises you made as a candidate to support an independent and transparent ward redistricting process.
All the people of Chicago who want a better government, who want a voice in their government, should contact their alderpersons now and encourage them to support the people by becoming a sponsor of The People’s Map. To take action, go to https://chicagoswards.org/take-action and let your alderperson hear from you.
We urge council members to shift course and chart a truly public path that involves and respects residents who have repeatedly voiced what they want for their communities.
