Some gentrifying working-class #Latino neighborhoods in #Chicago saw their taxes jump dramatically. “There are still inequities in our property tax system and we need to straighten it out,” @themariapappas, @CookCountyTreas said. - @ChicagoReporter chicagoreporter.com/neighbor…

Prioritizing the policy directives in this report: latinopolicyforum.org/public… is a necessary initial step for making sure that an overall recovery from #Covid by the #Latino community is not only attainable but equitable. @PuentePolicy
Before the pandemic, #Latinos were important and very significant contributors to overall
economic stability/growth in #Illinois. But unfortunately, COVID was like a set of brakes stalling and slowing those contributions. - @PuentePolicy, @latinopolicy chicagoreporter.com/illinois…

.@RepChuyGarcia makes it official
In Chicago, you know you’re part of something big. We live in the city of broad shoulders. But today, from crime to unemployment to affordable housing, there's uncertainty ahead. I’m running for Mayor of Chicago because it’s time to build a brighter future – together.

“While the Forum joins in celebrating the outcome of the 2022 Chicago Metro #Latino GDP report, we raise concerns about a view that, while accurate, does not highlight the fact that the community is not getting fair share of earnings from their contributions…” @PuentePolicy
“The @latinopolicy is thrilled w the details in outlining the #Latino communities’ wealth-making success…However, missing from the narrative is Latino wealth paradox. The community continues to not benefit from the prosperity it creates” @PuentePolicy - chicagoreporter.com/latinos-…
