For many of us living on the southwest side of Chicago, the daily challenges we face are growing. We are grappling with increased living costs and punitive policies. Under the current administration, I, like many others, felt the harsh realities of life under stringent immigration policies, with ICE raids affecting our community deeply. And now, with rising gas prices because of a failed vanity war, making ends meet is more challenging than ever, we prepose to lunch a wining vanity war.

we propose a tribute to a figure who stands for hope and change, Barack Hussein Obama. By renaming Wabash Ave in Chicago to Barack Hussein Obama Ave, we would honor him at the time of his presidential center's opening. This move resonates with hope and progress, uniting us in the pursuit of a brighter tomorrow.

But more importantly , the renaming carries symbolic weight, as it alters the official address of Trump Tower to Obama Ave. This would send a small message about the values we uphold as a city, those of inclusivity, resilience, and forward-thinking change, and fighting back in anyway possible.

We call on Mayor Brandon Johnson and city council members to consider this proposal seriously, reflecting the community's voice and aspirations. Please sign this petition to show your support for renaming Wabash Ave to Barack Hussein Obama Ave, and let us immortalize hope, progress and small acts of resistance in our cityscape.
