11am at S. Shore HS, 1955 E 75th St. Register here. The 2024 CBA summit was our biggest event ever. Let's make the 2025 summit even bigger, better, and more powerful — so we can win a CBA ordinance for South Shore as well as Woodlawn.

This Saturday, 10am-1pm at 618 E 61st with refreshments. If you don’t live in neighborhood but still want to support or get involved in the work, this is the event for you! RSVP here.

We have been organizing in a portfolio of 30 buildings. Two broken-down buildings need to be vacated. Households there have now won $2500 each in relocation support. More buildings may need to be foreclosed upon or vacated.

Join us Tuesday, 4-29 at 9am at 6430 S Stony Island for a press conference and rally to let the Mayor, City Council and luxury developers know that we need a CBA to protect against displacement BEFORE major developments happen in the neighborhood.

The road ahead was already difficult, and now it will be harder. Still, there are some silver linings. Our coalition's referendum on the South Shore CBA ordinance won by nearly 90%.

Developers don’t stop at the border of our neighborhoods, and if we are going to challenge them, neither can we.

Individuals, organizations, companies, unions, churches: Celebrate organizing wins by our tenants, mental-health advocates, and youth! You can be featured as a sponsor, or get a table seating eight.

Donate to support our work, or come celebrate our anniversaries and the merger we just announced! It’s November 1, 7-10pm at the South Shore Cultural Center.

US Bank illegally foreclosed on Ms. Powell after it changed her family’s mortgage from FHA to conventional, ballooning payments from $800 to $3,500 a month. Donate, show up at the encampment at Christiana’s (the sheriff could come any day), sign this petition, and call officials.
