Put Down Your Roots in the South Loop

Wabash St. As Mayor 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!!!
