Hundreds gather in Oak Park to show support for ‘welcoming ordinance’

Eve Rothbaum, 11, holds a sign during a “Rally for Sanctuary” on Feb. 4 in Oak Park. A proposed “welcoming ordinance,” up for approval by the Oak Park Village Board on Monday night, would be “exactly what we were looking for,” Mony Ruiz-Velasco said as a group of hundreds gathered in Scoville Park on Saturday afternoon.
