On a quiet Friday night in Oak Park, tragedy struck. A cherished possum, a frequent evening visitor familiar to many of our community, was killed in a hit and run incident. This was no ordinary accident; it involved a reckless act committed by an alleged drunk driver, Sandro Lofaro. Despite the severity of this incident, the driver has not been charged, leaving both the possum's life and our community's peace unaccounted for.

For those unfamiliar, possums play a significant ecological role in urban environments, controlling pests and aiding in seed dispersal. In urban areas like Oak Park, their presence maintains environmental balance and biodiversity. The loss of this possum is not just heartbreaking, it disrupts our local

We urge the Oak Park Police Department to investigate this incident thoroughly and bring appropriate charges against Sandro Lofaro.

Let us act together to ensure that our streets are safe for all, humans and animals alike. Please, sign this petition to demand justice and evoke change.
