Daley hosts thousands of convention delgates and members of the press for the
Democratic Convention, join the South Loop Campaign to demonstrate your
commitment to the South Loop Community. While the Mayor has sent $13 million
to plant trees downtown and on the west side in preparation for the
Convention, he has shown no willingness to prioritize affordable housing in
the rapidly developing South Loop. Low-income and homeless residents will show
their resolve not to be moved out of the neighborhood by city-sponsoreod
gentrification. Join us in putting down roots!!! The South Loop Campaign for
