Bring Chicago Home Northside Town Hall
Mar
27
2:00 PM14:00

Bring Chicago Home Northside Town Hall

What will happen at the town hall?

You'll get to learn about the Bring Chicago Home proposal to end the homelessness crisis in our city, meet other people on the Northside who care about this issue, and help move this campaign forward. We will be joined by Alderpeople Andre Vasquez (40), Matt Martin (47), Harry Osterman (48), and Maria Hadden (49). 

Why should I attend?

We need as many people as possible showing they support creating a dedicated revenue stream for affordable housing! In other words, we need guaranteed money every year going to fight homelessness, and that money should be coming from those most able to pay taxes - wealthy real estate developers.

We need a powerful turnout in order to show City Council and the Mayor: we need Bring Chicago Home now!

This event will be held both virtually and in person at Unity Lutheran Church (1212 W Balmoral).

Marsha Cole Virtual Memorial

Last week, the Jane Addams Senior Caucus community lost an important member of our community: Marsha Cole. On Sunday December 19th, 2021 we will gather as a community to honor Marsha's legacy and be together as a community. 

Register here to attend.

Here's more about Marsha Cole from one of her friends and fellow JASC members, Lillie Young:

We at the Jane Addams Senior Caucus and Jane Addams Seniors in Action have lost a good friend, colleague and ally on December 8, 2021 when she slipped away from us after a long and painful battle against covid19 and pneumonia. The locomotive of death outran us - we could not stop it though we prayed for a miracle.

May you rest in peace Marsha. As you continue your journey, we will continue the fight for justice and equality for everyone.
