In the midst of the pandemic and this summer’s protests, organizers across Chicago neighborhoods have mobilized their communities to provide aid and facilitate clean ups. These quick responses are the result of years of strategic coalition building and grassroots organizing. CHF’s next Chicago Neighborhood Check-In explores how communities organize to get the resources they need and impact government decision-making. We’ll be joined in conversation by Alderman of Chicago’s 20th Ward Jeanette B. Taylor, Associate Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Chicago Elizabeth Todd-Breland, and Lead Organizer with the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council Andrea Ortiz-Landin. Executive Director of the National Public Housing Museum Lisa Yun Lee moderates this panel.
