NIMBYs will use whatever power they can to stifle progress towards better communities. Electing urbanist candidates means their veto becomes a loose suggestion.

We are excited to announce our endorsement of Nick Uniejewski for State Senate!

@nickforillinois.bsky.social understands the need for more housing, better transit, and good governance throughout the state, and he's looking to champion these ideals in Springfield.

Good times at Hopleaf last night supporting Drake Warren for Cook County Commissioner in the 10th District! Drake spoke with many of us about his vision for a more effective county government, and we're excited to help make that vision a reality.

We're all for expanding service to underserved communities, but we need smarter infrastructure decisions. @starlinechicago.bsky.social

Chicago is locally funding 2/3 of the cost, and yet we're heading toward a fiscal cliff and our current state of the CTA service leaves much to be desired.

The lack of urgency... We need a holistic approach to building more housing, not these drawn out, piecemeal plans.

Do electeds care that we’ve been leading in rent increases & supply shortages? Do they realize we desperately need to grow the tax base to meet debt obligations?

Props to these state senators for getting the ball rolling on a safer DLSD. The status quo is unacceptable.

There are few large cities doing it better than Paris when it comes to improving residents' quality of life through smart urbanism.

We need Chicago leaders who are inspired by these new standards and their positive impacts on communities.

Great to meet so many neighbors at our West Loop Charter Chat last night! Thank you to everyone who came out to discuss why Chicago deserves better self-governance and how we can get there.

Thank you to all of the neighbors who came out to the Budlong Woods library for our Charter Chat last night! We got to hear a lot from the community about how local governance affects them and discussed what a charter could mean for Chicago.

Special thanks to @andrefor40th.bsky.social for joining!
