This coming Monday, the disability rights organization Access Living will be hosting a forum with a multi-partisan group of candidates in the 5th Congressional District race.  Here's the list of those who have confirmed:

Democrats
Mike Quigley, Sara Feigenholtz, John Fritchey, Patrick O'Connor, Charles Wheelan, Tom Geoghegan, Frank Annunzio, Carlos Monteagudo, Victory Forys, Paul Bryar

Republicans
Rosanna Pulido, Gregory Bedell, John Stewart

Greens
Matt Reichel, Mark Fredrickson

The one bit of news here is that Ald. O'Connor has agreed to participate.  Clearly he must not have liked the suggestion from some quarters that he wussed out by not showing up at the IVI-IPO/Northside DFA forum two Sundays ago.

The organization has said the forum "will cover a wide range of issues critical to all communities, including housing, education, employment, health care and civil rights."  It will take place from 2:00-4:30 pm at 115 W. Chicago Ave. (4th floor).  More info here.
