Tree of Remembrance in Daley Plaza honors 2,000 victims of Chicago violenceStickers on the tree are almost like ornaments, each with a name of someone lost in Chicago to violence. 🙏🏼 This covers Mayor Lightfoot's time in office. Remember it when you vote early next year. She campaigned on her plan to 'end gun violence' in Chicago. She LIED. All since Mayor Lightfoot took office after campaigning on her plan to 'end gun violence in Chicago.'
