Description
Earlier this week Mayor Lightfoot issued a state of emergency as hundreds of asylum seekers are arriving to Chicago daily. Block Club Chicago’s Quinn Myers and lead producer Carrie Shepherd discuss the latest on the ongoing humanitarian crisis, the city’s struggle securing money, and the scramble to provide resources. Plus, we are asking what the end of the COVID-19 emergency declaration means for Illinois, previewing the future City Council hierarchy, and sending farewell wishes to one of City Cast Chicago’s founding members!
You know what Lincoln Park’s May Fest and Buckingham Fountain mean?
It’s almost Summer!
