March 28,2012 Protest Rahm Event at the Italian Community Center where Chicago's Mayor Rahm came to fundraiser for Milwaukee's Mayor Tom. The state of Illinois and the State of Wisconsin 99% showed up to let the Mayors know just how they felt about the issues First, they pointed to his weakening of civil liberties for protestors attending the coming NATO Summit in Chicago as well as a blanket spending authority given to Rahm for the Summit. Rahm's most recent city budget also closed half of the city's mental health clinics and privatized seven of the city's neighborhood health clinics, both of which serve some of Chicago's neediest communities. Meanwhile, Rahm continues to find millions of dollars for paramilitary riot gear for peaceful protestors? The police we;re not letting even 1 person in to speak to the Mayors. The peaceful protester we're told to move off private property or be arrested.Thank you Occupy RiverWest for always helping us get our voices heard!!
