Chicago Ald. Julia Ramirez has issued her first public remarks after she was battered, along with an aide, during a protest against a proposed siteRamirez said that she and her aide attended the event at the request of protesters, but were quickly assaulted and battered after their arrival.
“After having a few conversations, it became clear that most of the protesters did not want to engage in peaceful dialogue with me. It was truly a disappointing experience. “I call on the mayor’s office for more transparency, accountability and more local involvement in the decision-making process, to explore more options for establishing the permanent shelters, and reevaluate if tents are an appropriate solution at this site.”“My administration supports the rights to peaceful protest and free speech, but this type of action against a public servant is unconscionable,” he said.
“Earlier today, Alderwoman Julia Ramirez and an aide were physically attacked while trying to meet with constituents,” he said. “All people have a right to peacefully protest and make their concerns known, but we can never tolerate violence towards elected officials and their staff.”
