Let’s face it: this is THE daily dose of cuteness you needed. 🦁 Did you know you can visit the lions virtually even if you’re stuck at a desk this Monday afternoon? These clips came from @zoolifetv. Learn more at lpzoo.org/live-cams

@Petersen11H @royalpratt @refrag could you elaborate? we are in touch with the park council and staff recently went on a walk with the BIPOC Birders group to check out the conditions

@royalpratt @refrag Then where is 'Friends of the Parks? Not protecting our Parks. Openlands? Same deal. Pack of useless cowards.

Good morning from Columbus Park. The South and West Sides have the city’s best parks

Loved hearing about hard work neighbors @merrymarwig & @DanPogoFC put into honoring #history at our local #Chicago park. My latest for @wttw @PBS. news.wttw.com/2022/09/26/par… @choosechicago #enjoyillinois @LoriLightfoot @ChiParksfdn @ChicagoParks @FOTPchicago #OIPA

I talked to "Southeast: A City Within a City" director, Steven J. Walsh about his upbringing in the community as well as @FOTPChicago about the environmental destruction of the neighborhoods nearby for my latest @Chicago_Reader article. chicagoreader.com/chicago/southe…

The head of @FOTPChicago said a proposal to give Chicago alderpersons more say in contracting for big events, such as NASCAR and Lollapalooza, is very timely. @CraigDellimore has the story: audacy.com/wbbm780/news/l…

@ProvocCities @StarLineChicago @Petersen11H @EstherRawson We have stood with the community residents and neighborhood organizations clearly stating that the center should not be built in the park and instead should have used vacant land.

🚨 🚨 📢 General Iron appeal April 21, 2pm, 400 W Superior, Room 112

Alert! Proven polluter General Iron is back! A cloud of secrecy has been looming over this appeal. The hearing will take place on April 21. We demand transparency and public participation. No closed door or backroom deals w/ General Iron's lobbyists and lawyers. #denythepermit

@StarLineChicago @Petersen11H @ProvocCities @EstherRawson please let us know what legal strategy there is to stop this, as we saw none. Please note, the lawsuits against the center continue to be thrown out.

Thank you Ald. Smith and Ald. Waguespack

A major polluter was dead set on opening a facility in a working-class neighborhood on Chicago’s Southeast Side. It looked like a done deal until community resistance forced the city to prioritize people over profit. @stopgeneraliron @CHIhungerstrike rampantmag.com/2022/03/how-th…
