RE: An Invitation to a Meeting to Discuss Transparency, Accountability and

Justice for Anjanette Young and for All of the Citizens of the City of Chicago
Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at 12:00 p.m.

Dear Mayor Lightfoot, Superintendent Brown, Aldermen Dowell, King, Lopez,

Coleman, Taylor, Ervin and Rodriguez Sanchez:

On Thursday, December 17, 2020 12:57 p.m. Mayor Lightfoot emailed me

(immediately before her scheduled press conference to discuss the Chicago Police
Department Raid at Ms. Young’s home) requesting an opportunity to sit down with
my client Ms. Anjanette Young.
Office Address: 900 Ridge Road, Suite 3SE || Mailing Address: P.O. Box 1475
Homewood, Illinois 60430
708.573.0060 Office || 708.573.0068 Facsimile
www.saulterlaw.com
2020.12.26 LT Mayor Lightfoot, Super. Brown and Alderman

Despite the timing of the request, Ms. Young has agreed to meet with Mayor
Lightfoot under the conditions set forth in this correspondence.

Ms. Young (as she discussed during our press conference on Wednesday, December
16, 2020 in front of the Chicago Police Department Public Safety Headquarters
Building) requests that Mayor Lightfoot meet with her at her church, Progressive
Baptist Church, 3658 South Wentworth Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60609, on
Wednesday, December 30, 2020 at 12:00 p.m.

Ms. Young would like to honor Mayor Lightfoot’s request for a more personal
meeting (this will take place at 11:30 a.m.) with Ms. Young, myself, Mayor
Lightfoot, and an aid of the Mayor’s choosing.

At 12:00, Ms. Young desires an audience with each of the above-referenced

Alderman and Chicago Police Department Superintendent David O. Brown.

A limited number of media will be invited—as we all have expressed a desire for
transparency.

While our church is very large and has a 1500-person capacity in the sanctuary, we
intend to follow strict health and safety protocols as it relates to Covid-19 and we
plan to keep this meeting to a capacity of less than 35 people, with a strict mask
mandate unless a person is speaking at the podium, and social distancing of at least
10 feet between individuals in attendance.

We understand that Mayor Lightfoot and Superintendent Brown typically attend

events outside of City Hall and the Chicago Police Department Headquarters with a
security detail and staff. As such, we have allotted space for three additional
security/staff personnel for Mayor Lightfoot and one additional security/staff
personnel for Superintendent Brown.

We ask that the Alderman attend alone unless there is a special circumstance that
requires additional security/staff.

Mayor Lightfoot as well as many of the invited Aldermen have expressed a desire
for increased Accountability and Transparency. Ms. Young desires the same and she
deserves Justice.

Please confirm your attendance at this meeting by December 28, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.
Thank you very much.

Very Truly Yours,

Keenan J. Saulter
