Many folks have shared this thread, and asked what they can do to make up for the grave mistake of supporting #LoriLightfoot and believing she was a progressive. Great question. Here's some ideas: https://twitter.com/radfagg/status/1295014371639341057
1. Learn some history. #LoriLightfoot has a record of repression, gentrification, anti-Black violence. Black queer women organizers were the original folks who warned us of this. Supporting Black candidates is meaningless while ignoring Black community. https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2019/4/03/chicagos-first-black-lesbian-mayor-isnt-victory-all-queers
2. Think/act more critically around identity politics. The goal of #BlackLivesMatter 
and other popular movements isn't to get more people with oppressed identities into positions of power, but to uproot oppressive structures on the whole: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/05/baltimore-uprising-protests-freddie-gray-black-politicians/

3. Follow/listen/donate directly to orgs and youth that have been targeted by the #Lightfoot administration's violence. Some starting places are @GKMC18 @ChicagoEat @ChiFreeSchool @AssataDaughters @ChiBondFund @GrassrootsChi @BLMChi
4. PUT PRESSURE ON HER ADMINISTRATION. #LoriLightfoot has done so much harm in just one year in office, from poisoning #LittleVillage residents during #COVID19 to allowing wealthy developers to continue looting public funds. https://www.bettergov.org/news/email-strings-show-city-officials-warned-of-health-risks-before-little-village-demolition/
If you are #LoriLightfoot's base/constituent/ex-supporter, take the same action to draw attention to her harm you did to uplift her campaign. Renounce your support, stop working with her admin, letter write, call her office, express your disappointment and demand better.
5. Lastly, most importantly, lift the demands the #Lightfoot admin is repressing, namely #DefundCPD, #CopsOutCPS, #HellNoHilco. Black/brown youth are so clear on what they need to feel safe. Now is the time to share their radical visions loudly. https://copsoutcps.com/
Join us in the streets, demand we stop funding the racist police department that is carrying out #Lightfoot's violence, kick ICE out of Chicago, demand Boeing, Sterling Bay, Hilco Global all pay back the tax breaks the city has given them. There are so many places to plug in!
