All are welcome at this Saturday’s event, which will be celebrating five years of the Austin Forward Together plan. Register now for the March 9th summit.
The two-day event, which will be held at BUILD Chicago’s campus in Austin, will be rooted in the guiding values of restorative justice, and participants will be introduced to approaches that address equity, harm, conflict and proactive community building in ways that center relationships and avoid exclusion.
Months of work on the comprehensive plan culminates June 2 at a third and final community summit. Your feedback is needed. Austin Coming Together and LISC Chicago have been leading the efforts.
The event – which will be held from 12 to 4 p.m. at Austin Town Hall, 5610 W. Lake St. – will feature art and peace making workshops, performances, free food and refreshments.
About 200 people participated last weekend in the first of three community summits organized by Austin Coming Together and LISC Chicago.
Cook County board member fears out-of-control gun violence could lead to more harm in Austin, other Chicago neighborhoods if action isn’t taken.
The event, sponsored by state Rep. La Shawn Ford, the Wiley Resource Center and John Marshall Law School, will be held April 11.
Customers flocked to Lake Street and Pulaski Road last weekend to support the owners of a Subway shop that opened in November.
The 11 a.m. event at the New Tabernacle of Faith Baptist Church will be followed by a walk through West Side neighborhoods, with more events to follow.
Community groups will unite on the West Side Wednesday for an unprecedented summit to mobilize Chicago neighborhoods against climate change.
