OFFICIAL STATEMENT – CHICAGO FLIPS RED December 30,2025 Yesterday, December 29, 2025, two public meetings were scheduled at City Hall: the Budget Committee meeting and the full Chicago City Council meeting. During these meetings, the Democratic-controlled City Council, acting under the direction of Budget Committee Chairman Jason Ervin (28th Ward), violated the First Amendment rights of Chicago Flips Red members Danielle Carter, Lanetta Thomas, and Jessica Jackson, while also violating the Illinois Open Meetings Act. This conduct is not isolated. For three consecutive years, beginning with Chicago Flips Red Founder Zoe Leigh, the City of Chicago has engaged in a pattern and practice of suppressing protected political speech—specifically when residents speak out against corruption, misuse, and alleged laundering of taxpayer dollars. Rather than address the substance of our concerns, the Johnson administration and City Council have increasingly relied on intimidation tactics, including the use of Chicago Police Department officers and the Sergeant-at-Arms to silence speakers. At recent meetings, 20–30 officers were deployed to remove individuals after they attempted to lawfully exercise their right to speak, often after being improperly denied access to the microphone. This is not public safety. This is government overreach. It resembles the very authoritarianism, discrimination, and racialized suppression that City leadership publicly claims to oppose. The hypocrisy is undeniable. Chicago Flips Red is now preparing to pursue legal action, including a civil rights lawsuit and potential class action, against: • The City of Chicago • The Chicago Police Department • Mayor Brandon Johnson • CPD Superintendent Larry Snelling • Deputy Mayor Garien Gatewood • The Sergeant-at-Arms • Budget Committee Chairman Jason Ervin The Constitution does not stop at the doors of City Hall. Public comment is not a privilege—it is a right. And Chicago residents will no longer be silenced. ALL HANDS ON DECK 🌹💫🇺🇸 #ChicagoFlipsRed
