Local Government Affects All Of Us

There is no one better-qualified to decide the path forward for your block, your neighborhood, your ward, and your city than you. You know what it is like to live in a city with rapidly-growing rents, deteriorating public transit, empty storefronts, crumbling roads, and weakening trust in our institutions.

It doesn't have to be this way.

You should have a say in fixing it.

Our Goals

  • Fast, frequent public transit
  • Robust, affordable housing
  • Vibrant, human-centered public spaces
  • Walkable, bikeable streets
  • Thriving local businesses

Our Theory of Change

The hardest part of getting involved is knowing where to start. We want to provide resources to make it easy to find out what's going on in your community - that's what the "Knowledge Hub" portion of this website is for. We plan to expand and add to the resources we have available to make civic engagement part of your daily life.

The world is run by those who show up to meetings. If we want to make real change in our communities, we need your support. We want your voice to be heard.

Saying "no" is easier than saying "yes". If we want to build a better tomorrow for the city of Chicago, we need to show what is possible when we build access to housing, transit, and public spaces. We want to create a bold vision of how this city could look, feel, and act if we all work together.

Our city's future should be decided by all of us. Too often, decisions on housing and transit are made undemocratically by groups that obscure their membership process, violate their term limits, and represent their own interests over the will of the people. This must change.
