We have progressive momentum since the spring elections. Where do we go from here?
From Evanston to Highland Park and all suburbs in between, grassroots groups have mobilized for a seat at the political table on issues ranging from affordable housing and police accountability, to government transparency.
How do social justice causes get support from elected officials? How do we create a culture of collaboration between grassroots groups and City Hall?
The Justice Project: The March Continues, a regional umbrella for support and action for welcoming, just, and diverse north suburban communities, is hosting this working session for local activists to share strategies and build the movement. We envision this to be the first of quarterly Justice Project regional gatherings.
Gain inspiration and ideas from progressive new legislators Trustee Heather Ross (Northbrook) and Alderman Devon Reid (Evanston — invited) and Rick Marsh of the powerhouse new grassroots group Community Alliance for Better Government in Evanston, on changing systems for the better and for good.
