Description
Blocks Together (BT) is a multi-issue, direct-action community organization made up of residents, schools, and churches in the West Humboldt and North Garfield Park communities of Chicago. For over 10 years, BT has been dedicated to developing grassroots leadership and empowering residents to create systemic change. Our mission is to increase the community’s capacity to take action to address important issues; challenge members to develop skills to advocate for their community and themselves; address the root causes of inequality; create neighborhood stability by ensuring that needed resources are invested in the community; and unite residents on the basis of equality to engage in building a social and economic justice movement.
