BrownTown continues to dialogue about the relationship between electoral and radical politics with Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez and Alderperson-elect Jessie Fuentes. With the historic 2023 Chicago municipal elections in the rearview, the team situates what this never-before-seen cohort of socialist and progressive alderpeople and new mayor means in terms of the city's social movements and political history. If electoralism is a mere tool in the toolbox in the work towards collective liberation, what potential does this new energy from Chicago's Left have to facilitate the conditions for political and social transformation?In this fourth installment, BrownTown and the alders discus everything from the decades-long history of mayors and movement, voter turnout, the power of relationships in organizing, to pop culture-saavy internet memes. We've witnessed the number of socialist and progressive alders grow exponentially from 2015 to 2019 to 2023. As insiders, Byron and Jessie share about going from movement to municipal government while all four unpack the nuances of sustaining a liberatory praxis in relationship to the state apparatus. Originally recorded April 6, 2023, two days after the municipal run-off elections. GUESTSAlderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez (25th Ward) came to the US alone as a teenager where he found care in teachers, coaches, and community members who gave him shelter, guidance, taught him English, and a pathway to a good education. He eventually settled in Pilsen, a historic immigrant working class neighborhood in Chicago, and worked as an adult education teacher, founding the bilingual adult education program at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Byron became politically active when he successfully lead community efforts to keep a neighborhood public school open after then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel attempted to close it. Later, he served as the Director of the Pilsen Alliance and co-founding the campaign to Lift the Ban on rent control in Illinois. As alderman, Byron was the Chief Sponsor of an ordinance to curtail harassment of homeowners who have been targeted by predatory developers. He is a member of the Chicago DSA. Byron holds a BS in Mathematics and Business Administration, an MS in Economics, and is currently a PhD candidate in Urban Education Policy.

A child of Humboldt Park and a seasoned organizer, Jessie's lived experience overcoming poverty, violence and generational trauma, coupled with her professional accomplishments, prepared her to serve the residents of the 26th Ward. Through personal resilience, community support, and restorative justice she was able to turn her most challenging life experiences into tools to uplift others facing similar life circumstances. Jessie sees her new role in City Council as a message to young people that transformation and change are possible and that one's life circumstances do not dictate their destiny.

In 2018, the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless proposed an ordinance that would tax home sales over $1 million at a higher rate in an effort to fight homelessness in Chicago. On Monday, Mayor Lightfoot and her allies in City Council blocked a hearing for that ordinance, known as Bring Chicago Home. Reset breaks down what happened and what's next with Carla Johnson, grassroots leader with the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, and Ald. Matt Martin, 47th Ward, and Ald. Maria Hadden, 49th Ward, the two sponsors of the ordinance.

We expect summertime to be hot in Chicago, but extremely hot days are coming earlier and more often. During a May heat wave, three residents at a senior apartment complex in Rogers Park died from what's suspected to be heat-related causes. The tragedy prompted Ald. Maria Hadden to push a law to keep residents safe in extreme heat. The law passed in June. The 49th Ward alderwoman tells lead producer Carrie Shepherd how the new law came to be and what the protections entail. A little bit of news: The future of the Discount Mall in Little Village remains uncertain, with the contract between the mall and property owners set to expire at the end of this month.

Last week's record-breaking heat was deadly for three women at the James Sneider Apartments, a living facility for seniors and people with disabilities in Rogers Park. The women were found unresponsive Saturday after multiple heat complaints from residents. Reset discusses what can be done to prevent this from happening again, and reflects on lessons from Chicago's 1995 heat wave. GUESTS: Ald. Maria Hadden, 49th Ward Eric Klinenberg, sociologist at New York University; author of Heat Wave: a Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago Host: Sasha-Ann Simons Producer: Char Daston

On today's episode we sit down with 49th Ward Alderperson Maria Hadden for a wide ranging conversation about justice issues in Chicago. Hadden coming in to office at the same time as Mayor Lightfoot understands the impact the pandemic had on public officials and how the pandemic transformed their first terms in office. We start the episode by asking Hadden to give Mayor Lightfoot a grade on police reform to this point in her first term. It is pretty clear that Mayor Lightfoot pulled somewhat of a bait and switch when it came to police reform as her rhetoric during the campaign not really matched the her actions while in office. There is little doubt that she has confronted the Fraternal Order of Police and their alt right regime that is running the union. While this is something those that voted for her to push police reform would want her to do that is hardly the extent of the reforms her supporters were expecting. We also discuss with Hadden how the Mayor uses the consent decree to some extent to limit the range of legislative reforms that can pass the city council. Reforms like Hadden's Anjanette Young ordinance that would reform the Chicago Police Department's warrant practices including eliminating no-knock warrants and forcing the officers to actually wait 30 seconds after knocking to kick doors down. Hardly radical reforms but reforms non-the-less that Mayor Lightfoot is doing whatever she can to block the legislation from passing. We end our conversation discussing Mayor's very recent announcement that the Christopher Columbus statute will be returning to grant park. Hadden talks about how this is just another failure of process by Mayor Lightfoot because the city has a monument committee supposedly working on a city wide plan for all monuments and yet the Mayor makes a unilateral announcement before the process has been completed. Sadly this is very typical for the Mayor and is just one reason her approval ratings are not where she wants them.

Since 2017, a developer has been pushing for rezoning in Rogers Park so he can turn a 100-year-old vacant building at 1710 W. Lunt Ave. into a modern 20-unit housing complex, including four affordable housing units. Like with most construction projects happening across the city, neighbors have voiced concerns about the preservation of the building and decreased parking. However, on this block, the loudest opponents are the members of the Hare Krishna temple next door. The congregation says they are concerned about how this development would impact their religious practices. As 49th ward Ald. Maria Hadden decides on the future of this development, we sit down with Block Club Chicago reporter Joe Ward and Subal Dasa, one of the managing directors of the temple.

Last week, we spoke about ‘managed democracy’ in the US. In this show, we bust the myths about the democracy movement in Venezuela. The US media routinely misreports on Venezuela because its success threatens US Empire. Mike Fox, a journalist and documentarian, has covered the rise of participatory democracy in Venezuela and other Latin American countries over the past ten years. Following the election of Hugo Chavez, the people of Venezuela rewrote the Constitution granting rights to education, health care, land for growing food and more. They have worked to build new institutions to meet their needs and are creating a democratic structure of governance through community councils. The results are that they have the lowest index of inequality in all of South America and are ranked fifth in the world in happiness. We then speak with Maria Hadden of the Participatory Budgeting Project in the US. Participatory budgeting gives decision-making power over public funds to the people. In the US, it started in Chicago and is growing coast to coast.
