The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Lori Lightfoot
- One of the challenges I think we have is people feel like the act of governance is a zero sum game. ‘Whatever I get, you’re not getting.’ Changing that dynamic is going to be critically important for me as a leader, so that people don’t feel they’re pitted against each other.
- People feel like city government is corrupt. They feel like it doesn’t work unless you have clout.
- For more than two decades Chicagoans have routinely traveled to neighboring cities like Rosemont, Elgin, Joliet, Gary and Hammond to gamble. If people in Chicago want to gamble, then they should be able to gamble in Chicago at a city-owned, land-based casino.
- It’s not enough to be anti-Trump.
- Let’s stand together, stick together, and work together for justice of every description. Racial justice. Gender justice. Immigrant justice. Economic justice. Environmental justice.
- Make no mistake about it: Change is hard, but change is necessary.
- I learned early on about the real meaning of equity and inclusion, and that when those guiding principles are not met, they can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities.
- Fundamentally, if people don’t feel like their lives are valued and they don’t value their lives, they’re not going to value their neighbors’ lives.
- I can’t look into the crystal ball. All I can do is the here and now.
- We are a city that is a sanctuary city. We have immigrants from all over the world who call Chicago their home. They’ll continue to do that, and we’re going to continue to make sure that this is truly a welcoming community for those immigrants and we want them to come to the city of Chicago.
