06/17/2015 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Nickolas Kaplan (nkaplan@luc.edu) CHICAGO CONCERT SWEEP LATEST ATTACK IN ALDERMAN CAPPLEMAN'S WAR ON HOMELESS A group of activists cried foul Wednesday as Alderman James Cappleman’s war on the homeless took its latest turn this week when city officials cleared out homeless encampments in the alderman’s uptown ward to make room for a concert by Grammy award winning artists Mumford and Sons. City police and family & support services moved homeless residents and their belongings away from their residence site on the viaduct to make room for the concert, which was rescheduled for Friday, June 19 after rains pummeled the city Wednesday. The 42nd ward has been a lightning rod for conversations about gentrification in the city, where the alderman has spent years supporting and enforcing policies that criminalize the city’s estimated 138,575 Chicagoans (as of August 2014) without homes and shut down single room occupancy and transitional housing options. Activists are calling on the band to address the situation and the city to address the lack of resources and harassment facing these community members. The concert, scheduled for Friday night, is estimated to draw 35,000 people CAPPLEMAN CONTACTS!!
