YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEdwin Eisendrath and Phil Ponce, long-time host of “Chicago Tonight,” a weekly television magazine on WTTW-TV, begin from a shared place of moral clarity about ICE’s draconian tactics in the city. Phil spearheaded an effort of local journalists to push back in a powerful letter to the public that began with the words: “You know us.” The letter becomes a reminder that credibility isn’t a keepsake — it’s a tool, and when a city sees neighbors seized for civil offenses, that tool has to be used. What stands out is how quickly ordinary Chicagoans converted fear into strategy: whistles as warning systems, school runs as acts of protection, and food drives as quiet refusals to let intimidation decide who gets to move freely.
