Rhymefest Marches On Chicago's City Hall

At this point, trying to describe how crippling the recession is pointless. Thousands of jobs being cut by the day and millions more attempting to find work when the sad reality is there isn’t much to go around. Chicago’s own Rhymefest marched on the steps of City Hall to demand more jobs for the residents of South Side Chicago in the form of a Wal-Mart on 83rd & Chatham. Here, let Andrew explain it.

Rhymefest took to the steps of City Hall yesterday to protest with a rather large group in hopes to bring jobs to the black community on the Southside of Chicago. More specifically, a Walmart, that Alderman Howard Brookins is trying to build on 83rd & Chatham, that will bring close to 300 jobs to the area. ‘Fest in particular also hopes this will also bring fresh produce and food to this community, that does most of their grocery shopping at 7/11′s and BP stations.

If you support his cause make sure to vote in support by July 29th at Jobs or Else, or contact your local Alderman.

As a former resident of the Chicago, 56th & Prarie to be exact, I fully support movements like this. Much respect to Rhymefest.
