CHICAGO, IL - What began as a grassroots effort to recall Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has grown into a broad movement to overhaul the city’s entire governing structure. Led by Chicago Deserves Better PAC, the campaign aims to establish a new City Charter through an independent commission. This could introduce unprecedented powers like recall elections and other important reforms to city leadership.
The movement stems from frustration among residents who feel that Chicago’s current government lacks accountability.
