Anjanette Young gathers with alderwomen, social workers and more to support new ordinance fighting violent, discriminatory police raids

CHICAGO — Anjanette Young is working to ensure no others have to endure what she experienced in Feb. 2019 when Chicago police carried out a botched raid on her home while following up on a bad tip.

Young gathered with several city alderwomen at Daley Plaza Saturday morning to rally supporters for the Anjanette Young Ordinance, which demands the city address a pattern of violent and discriminatory police raids that have targeted Black and Brown families.

Young said March is Social Work Month, and as a social worker herself, she said she was “very intentional” about the timing for Saturday’s rally in going with the month’s theme for this year, “The time is right.”
