What kind of person screams at mental health advocates? [View all]
Rahm Emanuel, that's who.
Just days after launching a new TV ad where he tried to convince voters he has a softer side, Rahm Emanuel finally met with advocates who had been trying to meet with him for years, hoping to stop him from closing mental health clinics in communities struggling with violence and poverty. One of the advocates lost her son to gun violence, and pleaded with Rahm to reopen the clinics.
Off camera, after the event was over, Rahm Emanuel angrily screamed at one of the advocates: "YOU'RE GONNA RESPECT ME!"
Stories like this are why Chicago voters are ready to fire Rahm Emanuel and replace him with a progressive champion who will stand with the people: Jesús "Chuy" García. Now it's time to make sure Chicago voters know the truth about Rahm Emanuel.
That's why Democracy for America is teaming up with MoveOn, Daily Kos, and the Working Families Party to launch Calls for Chicago -- an unprecedented collaboration to get out the vote in Chicago.
The above is from DFA. Please support DFA, Moveon.org and other progressive organizations fighting for our democracy.
