We are the voice of Chicago’s NWS and we stand in solidarity with black and brown folks and those most affected by racism. We live and work and are creating community on Chicago’s Northwest Side and we are committed to the transformation of our neighborhoods into antiracist, authentically diverse communities where everyone who lives, works or visits our neighborhoods will experience a sense of compassion, welcome and equity.

We are committed to rooting out racism in our schools, workplaces, community and organizations. We are committed to fostering inviting and welcoming spaces in our neighborhood parks, community spaces and businesses.
