City Cast Chicago
About
For the second year in a row, the annual Cinco de Mayo Parade in Little Village is being canceled. We ask contributor Brandon Pope and Justice Informed CEO Xavier Ramey why organizers believe now is not the right time to bring the celebration back. Plus, a federal judge ruled on a lawsuit against the deployment of National Guard troops, an Ashburn motel is being turned into a shelter, and our guests weigh in on the return of the Silver Room Block Party.
