Excerpt:
"There was a strong sense of really a unity in action that we hadn’t seen in Chicago for a very, very long time. And what I saw personally was whenever there was a potential sighting, people would be called to respond and I would be one of the folks that would also respond by the time I got there. A lot of times I would go driving because I would think that’s the quickest way. By the time I got there, there were already people on foot, there were people on bikes, and it was heartening. It was inspiring to see the community show up for each other and also show up for not just for neighbors that they know, but for people that they don’t know at all. So both of these things existed at the same time." -- Miguel Alvelo Rivera
