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).
