The Village of Skokie banned the parking of taxicabs anywhere in the Village, which would have had the effect of forcing hundreds of drivers to leave their homes in Skokie. But instead of moving out, drivers decided to STAND UP! UTCC Steering Committee member Sayed Ilyas was the voice for almost a hundred drivers affected by the ban in Skokie, who packed Skokie Village Hall meetings week after week- As a result of their hard work, today, the parking ban has been lifted for the vast majority of drivers living in Skokie!
