I know change will come
to Chicago.

Just not as soon
as I woulda hoped.

But I get it.

Most people don’t like change

even when it’s
what they need the most,

and I’ve learned
that real change

comes slow or not at all.

But lucky for y’all,
I’m willing to be patient.

Let’s keep going.

The fight isn’t over.

We still have a lot
of work to do.

I’m grateful for each
and every one of you,

all the hard work you’ve done,
all the late nights.

You have my deepest gratitude.

God bless you and good night.
