Black Leadership Committed to Working People and All Children targeted by Trump

Mayor Brandon Johnson, Frank Chapman

Speaking at a community listening session at Trinity United Church of Christ
on Chicago's south side, Mayor Brandon Johnson briefly spoke about his administration's commitment to give all the city's children and its working people, a government rooted in Care, Fairness and Justice, before taking questions. Frank Chapman, executive director of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, preceded Mayor Johnson with a call for unity in the face of the racist and neoliberal forces, actively working to divide the coalition that elected the mayor, some forty years after they took back control of Chicago, following the death of Mayor Herold Washington.
Mayor Harold Washington, the first Black American to be elected to Chicago's highest political office, was supported by a city wide coalition
of groups from all sectors of society that opposed the entrenched racist paradigm of the economic system and Chicago's business, religious and
ethnic elites that were in control. It was his legacy that inspired people
to overcome their differences to pull together for, not just Chicago's benefit,
but humanity's, that enabled Mayor Johnson's victory, in spite of a hostile press, corporate, banking and Police union (FOP) effort to prevent it.
Frank Chapman speaks of that and the national campaign to institutionalize formally, the fascism being seeded by the Trump administration.
