An online Change.org petition organized by Bryce Jones has garnered tens of thousands of signatures calling for the address of Trump Tower in Chicago to be renamed "Barack Hussein Obama Ave." The petition asks city officials to rename the portion of Wabash Avenue where Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago is located, framing the name change as a way to immortalize "small acts of resistance in our cityscape" and highlight the daily challenges faced by residents on Chicago's southwest side, including increased living costs.
