A few days ago I attended the Save the Reader rally, and I am happy to share that the Reader will be saved. The paper will become a nonprofit publication and continue as a voice for marginalized people. The Reader is an important part of the community, their continued success is vital to our future. I offer my personal best wishes to Tracy Baim, a pioneering journalist, and passionate activist. Her determination and steadfastness are why we are able to celebrate today,” said Ald. Pat Dowell, candidate for the Democratic nomination for Illinois’ 1st Congressional District.
