Join us on election day, November 3rd, for our election night watch party at Black Barrel Tavern in West Loop!
It's vitally important for everyone running for office in Chicago to be grilled on what they're going to do to reverse this trend
The way we solved hunger was by getting rich enough that food was cheap and plentiful. Meanwhile our current compassionate, human-oriented approach to housing is driving scores of people out onto the street and making everyone miserable.
Really hoping that Giannoulias faces a tougher opponent in the runoff, because a referendum on Brandon Johnson will be a cakewalk

So you're saying they recklessly began studying how they should plan their study without first studying how to plan their study study?
Awesome to see young people fired up for such a great cause
University of Chicago Students to Protest at Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Demand End to Federal Ban on Onion Futures
Student-led group For Our Futures will rally Monday morning to call for repeal of the 1958 Onion Futures Act
On Monday, October 19, at 8:30 a.m., members of For Our Futures, a student-led organization from @UChicago, will gather outside the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (@CMEGroup) headquarters to demand the repeal of the Onion Futures Act of 1958, a nearly 70-year-old federal law prohibiting futures trading in onions.
The Onion Futures Act, enacted following allegations of market manipulation in the 1950s, singled out onions for a prohibition on futures contracts that remains in effect today. For Our Futures is calling on Congress to repeal the ban and restore the ability of onion growers, buyers, and traders to participate in a regulated futures market. Onions remain the only commodity banned from futures trading in the United States.
The protest will feature a giant inflatable onion costume, protest signs, and dozens of students, and will take place outside the headquarters of CME Group, one of the world's largest derivatives marketplaces and the historic center of American onion futures trading.

Join us tonight for a talk on the future of transit in America with some authors of the Transit Abundance Playbook!
This Thursday, we are hosting a discussion on the @IFP's Transit Abundance Playbook with some of its authors.
The playbook is a collection of policy proposals that the US will need to implement if we ever want to get back to completing transit projects on time and under budget.
