Save and Preserve Historic Altgeld Week+ of Action!
June 12-June18, 2021
Altgeld Gardens needs your help! In just a couple weeks, Chicago Public Schools is planning to demolish a historic building in our community. The community was not informed in a timely fashion or involved in this decision at all. We are fighting back! We need reinvestments not disinvestment! Altgeld is eligible for historic landmark status, and the building CPS plans to demolish, the first school in the community, plays an important role in obtaining historic designation, which will help us preserve our neighborhood.
We are standing up to demand justice. Please join us Monday, June 14 at 9:30am for a rally and press conference and please spread the word. Keep the momentum going daily through our week of action! Contact Cheryl Johnson for more information Cheryl@pcrchi.org or call the PCR office at 773-840-4618.
