Description

Mayor Brandon Johnson traveled to Washington, D.C. this week with other big city mayors asking for more federal aid to help the tens of thousands of largely Venezuelan migrants who have arrived in the last year. Crain’s Leigh Giangreco and Block Club Chicago’s Atavia Reed join us to talk about the latest efforts to secure funding. Plus, we discuss ongoing concerns with neighborhood Save-A-Lots, a Walgreen’s closure in Roseland, and the beginning of Christmas music season. 

Some good news: Black Harvest Film Festival
