Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teenager, Laquan McDonald, while he was Mayor of Chicago.
That he's being considered for a cabinet position is completely outrageous and, honestly, very hurtful. https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/19/politics/rahm-emanuel-transportation-secretary/index.html

In his first year as Mayor, he closed more than half of Chicago's public mental health clinics.
Those clinics disproportionately served Black clients, and caused a spike in mental health crises leading to psychiatric hospitalizations. https://www.chicagoreporter.com/its-time-to-reopen-chicagos-closed-mental-health-clinics/

In 2013, he closed 50 public schools — the largest school closure in United States history — most of which were in Black neighborhoods. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/06/chicago-public-schools-closures-racism-ghosts-in-the-schoolyard-extract
I believe the Biden Administration is sincerely committed to dismantling systemic racism. Giving Rahm Emanuel a cabinet position would threaten that vital work.
