🚨 Is the city's snow response falling short? ❄️

Over a week after a snowstorm left streets covered in thick ice, frustrated residents and aldermen are demanding better action! 😡 In a heated Board of Aldermen hearing, neighbors shared horror stories of unplowed streets, dangerous snow routes, and a lack of pre-treatment before the storm. 🛑

Artists Chris Brown and Meek Mill are using their platforms to advocate for fairness and recognition for incarcerated individuals risking their lives to fight wildfires. These brave inmates work under dangerous conditions, yet many face barriers to becoming professional firefighters upon release due to their criminal records.

The artists are calling for reduced sentences and systemic change, highlighting the need to reward these individuals for their public service. It’s time to give second chances to those who’ve earned them. 🔥
