👋🩵 Meet the New 39th District Team
Dear Neighbor,
I’m excited to introduce the newest members of the 39th District Office team!
Julian has joined our office as Constituent Services Coordinator, Jessica is serving as a Constituent Services Advocate, and Cindy is joining us for the summer as a Mikva Challenge Fellow. Learn more about the new 39th District Team here!
Throughout the summer, you'll find the team out in the community, attending neighborhood events, participating in community meetings, and canvassing door-to-door. Our team is here to help you navigate state resources, services, and agencies. For assistance, give us a call at (773) 853-2570 or email the office at will@repguzzardi.com.
All my best,
Will

Whistle Alert Response Network
Looking for a lower-risk way to help protect your neighbors from ICE?
The Northwest Side Rapid Response Network is launching a new neighborhood-based, people-powered alert system. To join the Whistle Alert Response Network (WARN), download the Telegram app on your phone. Then, join the channel using this link.
How does WARN work? We are increasingly seeing ICE agents staking out our communities before they begin detaining people. As soon as our teams confirm the presence of agents/vehicles, we’ll send a notice to the Whistle Alert Response Network (WARN) on Telegram.
When you get a WARN alert in your immediate area, go outside and walk around your block, blowing a whistle. This will warn at-risk neighbors that ICE is nearby.
Once you’ve warned your neighbors, get inside to safety BEFORE ICE activity begins. WARN is not rapid response; it complements the work that trained rapid responders are already doing by creating lower risk for anyone in our community to proactively warn neighbors that only administrators can send messages to the WARN; administrators are all vetted and trained leads within the Northwest Side Rapid Response network.
