Holding banners that read “Treatment, not trauma,” about 100 youth protesters filled the City Hall lobby Friday to push for more mental health clinics in impoverished parts of the city while demanding less money for police officers.
The protesters were drawing attention to a question on the ballot this November asking voters in the 20th and 33rd wards, as well as in four precincts of the 6th Ward, if the mental health clinics closed in 2012 by then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel should be reopened.
