"Everyone here with me is fighting the hard fight. But they realize when you cancel out the noise, when you go to every single door, everyone believes in compassion, kindness and love," said Bawany.

United Working Families says the candidates they are backing offer an opportunity to shift power in City Hall to benefit not just the wealthy few. 

The group is aligned with the Chicago Teachers Union.
