Our Mission

Our 40th organizes for racial, social, environmental, and economic justice in the 40th ward and throughout the city of Chicago.

Through advocacy, direct action, community building, and education, we build strong communal relationships, advance progressive legislation, and support grassroots movements. We hope to improve the lives of our community, while understanding our connection to all residents in the city of Chicago and the broader progressive movement. Our community possesses the skills and the knowledge needed to make positive change; and sharing and exercising these resources makes a safer, more equitable Chicago.
