Andrew Gillum Instagram – Today I’d like to introduce you to Chicago Alderwoman @mariafor49 for our #womenshistorymonth series.
Before taking public office, Maria was the Executive Director of Our City Our Voice, a national nonprofit organization she founded to enable communities and governments across the country to redesign democracy for more empowered and equitable participation. Her expertise in public participation is grounded in grassroots organizing efforts for social change.
Maria is a member of @nbjconthemove Good Trouble Network and is committed to fighting on behalf of the Black same gender-loving community and those who have been left behind for far too long.
While we say all politics is local, Maria is the embodiment of what showing up for your community looks like. We’re lucky to have her in the fight. | Posted on 12/Mar/2022 01:29:38
