David Hatch is the Executive Director of Reclaim Chicago. Reclaim Chicago is a people-led movement to get corporate interests out of city hall and reclaim Chicago City Council as a body that serves the interests of regular Chicagoans and our neighborhoods. Reclaim Chicago is supported by The People's Lobby and National Nurses United. The People's Lobby works on issues ranging from austerity and budgets to mass incarceration, good jobs, climate change and campaign finance, and its members provided almost 5,000 volunteer hours knocking doors and phone banking for progressive candidates in Chicago's February 24 municipal election. National Nurses United, with 6,000 Registered Nurses in Illinois and close to 185,000 members across the country, is the largest union and professional association of RNs in U.S. history.
