More than 300 protesters crowded outside Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's home Thursday, saying she has disappointed the city, according to local reports.
Demonstrators posted photos and videos of the protest on social media, using the hashtag #2Years2Much as the mayor marked two years in office.
Photos show protesters carrying signs that gave Lightfoot "F" marks in education, COVID-19 recovery, police reform, housing and so on, photos posted to social media show.
"It’s not enough to be Black, it’s not enough to be female, you gotta be right," Tara Stamps, a veteran Chicago Public Schools teacher, said, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
Forty community organizers sponsored the event, including the Chicago Teachers Union, Black Lives Matter Chicago, Illinois Raise Your Hand, GoodKids MadCity and others, according to a Facebook event page.
"For the past 2 years, Lightfoot's [a]dministration has continued to ignore the demands of its people," the event page reads. "This administration has failed on multiple issues — from environmental justice to education to policing to housing and COVID recovery. Join over 30 organizations in calling out Mayor Lightfoot on her [two-]year anniversary and demand that she fulfill her broken promises."
The Chicago Teachers Union said its members are "just grateful and honored to be standing alongside" protesters in a Thursday tweet.
Lightfoot's office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from Fox News. The mayor on Thursday boasted 150 accomplishments since she took office, according to Fox 32.

And she’s got that whole gay ugly butch partner thing going.
Not enough?
Thats funny, it appears it was more than enough
To get it voted onto mayors offfice
for Halloween despite his initial objections.
lightfoot is an idiot, but Chicago is completely ungovernable.
“dressed her son to look like her”
That really is twisted. Treats him like a ken/barbie doll.
“It’s not enough to be Black, it’s not enough to be female”
Huh? That seems to be the ONLY things that matter these days. Competence? Pfft! Capability? Pfft!! Aptitude? Pfffftttt!!!!! Results? Pfffftttt!!!!! Bosh.
Chicago has a habit of electing awful leaders,...They’re used to atrocious leadership.
The event reflects underlying trend : Chicago is being detriotized
So what happened? Did she fall out of the Fugly Tree and hit every branch along the way?
Do not feed the animals!
The signs exist for a reason.
Maybe Lori should ask Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta for a job on the Walgreen’s board in nearby Deerfield.
She chose to step over into the dark side.....
The Chicago Teachers Union is a collection of ultra-left wing mopes; their darling, Toni Preckwinkle, was Lightfoot’s main competition in the mayoral election, and the CTU has never gotten over its loss in that vote. It’s tough to say which would be a worse mayor (though Groot sets an awfully low bar), but so far as the CTU is concerned, it doesn’t matter - they’d have an even cushier racket going with Preckwinkle in charge, and hence they’ll knife Lightfoot every chance they get. And right now is as good a time as any.
So lightfood is not liberal enough? My oh my, what next?
They should've chanted this instead:
U-G-L-Y
You ain't got no alibi
You
You're ugly!
Well that is scary and it was Halloween.
