Community Rally and Team effort in Pilsen

I am so excited about the weekend.

This Saturday, from 11:00am - 4:00pm @ Kristoffer’s Café

Please join us Saturday May 15th for an extremely important Team Effort event in honor of Martha Gonzalez. We will be joining forces with the Pilsen community, the Chicago Police Dept., and CAPS in creating a very significant rally promoting safety and neighborhood enjoyment.

Free pastry & coffee for all early volunteers!

For our Team Effort we plan on implementing a Safety Assessment of 18th & Halsted.

We will also be obtaining signatures on 17th Place to petition on having the street honorarily designated after "Martha Gonzalez".

So please come and help us to bring continued awareness and support to our cause.
