Solicitudes de cambio de zonificación Una de las mayores preocupaciones que han expresado las personas en el Distrito 49 es la falta de un plan coherente para el desarrollo en el Distrito 49. Actualmente, el desarrollo parece ser algo que simplemente se nos permite y la opinión de la comunidad, cuando se permite, a menudo se encuentra al final de un proceso de toma de decisiones. La concejal Hadden quiere trabajar con los residentes de la comunidad para garantizar que realmente tengamos un proceso de zonificación transparente e impulsado por la comunidad. Además, quiere que la comunidad colabore con los constructores y desarrolladores locales para determinar qué queremos ver en el barrio en los próximos 5, 10 y 15 años. La zonificación impulsada por la comunidad ha funcionado en otros distritos y también funcionará aquí. Proceso de cambio de zonificación: Paquete de cambio de zonificación

Recursos para inmigrantes Todos los residentes de Chicago, independientemente de su estado migratorio, pueden utilizar los servicios de la ciudad. Y todas las personas tienen derechos legales en los Estados Unidos, incluidos los inmigrantes indocumentados. Es importante que los inmigrantes indocumentados conozcan sus derechos si ICE llama a su puerta. A continuación, se incluyen algunos materiales informativos para ayudarlo a comprender sus derechos en estas situaciones. Conozca sus derechos si llega hielo a su casa - Inglés Conozca Sus Derechos si ICE Llega a Su Casa - Español Fighting Against Fascist Occupation Download English Guide Haitian Creole Descargar Guía en Español Ukranian Télécharger le Guide en Français Mandarin ICIRR Hotline If you see or experience ICE activity, call the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights' (ICIRR) 24-Hour Family Support Hotline: 1-855-HELP-MY-FAMILY (1-855-435-7693). For more information on ICIRR's hotline go to icirr.org/fsn . Here’s how you can stay informed and help others: Understand ICE Tactics: ICE often carries out operations early in the morning, targeting people as they leave for work or take their children to school. They may also set up traffic stops, visit workplaces, or go to people’s homes. Even if someone is not the primary target, ICE has historically detained others who are present. Know Your Rights: Every person in the U.S. has constitutional protections, and knowing how to exercise those rights can make all the difference in a moment of interaction with ICE: You do NOT have to open your door unless ICE presents a warrant signed by a judge. ICE forms are not signed by judges and do not grant permission to enter your home. If you come into contact with ICE officers, stay calm, do not run, and do not provide information about your immigration status. Do not sign anything you don’t understand, and do not provide false documents. If you are questioned, you can calmly state that you wish to speak with a lawyer before proceeding. Create a Safety Plan: Planning ahead is essential. Make sure your family has emergency contact information, and ensure schools or daycare centers have updated contact details for emergencies Get Prepared! WBEZ put together a helpful article on what Chicago Public Schools, parents or guardians, and students can do, including how to talk to children about the chances of Federal Immigration Officers in Chicago.
