Hello Friends and Neighbors!
Last week, we discussed the terrific win of both Alder Vasquez and Alder Osterman cosigning the Native Gardens Registry Ordinance, thank you again to both Alders.
We dove into new conversations about the Parkways for Pollinators project and heard from Amy about the #CutOutCutlery campaign.
We can't wait to continue these projects, and many more, with you all.
We hope you will join us for our Housing Town Hall on Tuesday, the Democratize ComEd Week of Action all next week, and our next coalition meeting on Wednesday March 10th.
