Who’s behind those texts slamming Mayor Johnson and some progressive alders for their ‘snap curfew’ vote? • The TRiiBE A round of political text messages are circulating in Chicago after the mayor’s veto on a youth curfew ordinance. Experts say these campaigns are only going to increase from here.

After Johnson decided to veto the vote for snap curfews, text messages went out slamming his decision and the alders who also opposed the ordinance. The texts claim crime is increasing, though homicides in Chicago are the lowest they've been since 1962. Great reporting from @tonia.thetriibe.com

Here's the thing about curfews... • The TRiiBE We partnered with South Side Weekly to dig into curfews, talk to teenagers and parents, and examine the demise of third spaces for them.

At a court hearing last week, Supt. Larry Snelling told a federal judge that the controversial tool is “not something that I asked for or that I need,” WBEZ reported.

City Council finance committee approves settlement for Chicago organizer Miracle Boyd • The TRiiBE Miracle Boyd, a longtime advocate for justice and accountability, cleared another hurdle as the Chicago City Council nears a final vote on her settlement.

I've been following Miracle Boyd's story since 2022. She said she’s relieved today but knows this vote isn’t total closure.

As an abolitionist, she wanted the officer who assaulted her to participate in restorative justice circles—but he resigned instead.

A Hearing with Sanctuary City Mayors - United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability United States House Committee on Oversight and Accountability

Good morning, family!

We're following updates from DC as Mayor Brandon Johnson and the mayors of Boston, New York City & Denver are expected to testify on sanctuary city policies for the House Committee on Oversight & Accountability.

You can watch here: oversight.house.gov/hearing/a-he...

Mayor Johnson is taking his message straight to Black Chicagoans • The TRiiBE INTERVIEW: Feeling that his investments in Black Chicago are being lost in ‘chaos’ narratives, Johnson is spending more time with the Black press and in community with residents.

Historically, the mayor’s power has disproportionately benefited a select few, as evidenced by the segregated pockets of poverty and divestment across Chicago.

Mayor Johnson is attempting to govern differently than the handpicked white Democrats who came before him.
