What do we want?

 

1) An end to the Master Plan put forth by the city.

2) Tenants in each apartment organized into Tenants Union, federated into a larger organization.

3) The development of Waukegan decided democratically by our communities instead of by the city government. We believe that, if given the choice, our communities would decide NOT to allow the construction of condominiums.

4) An end to anti-working-class laws like 287g and the 500$ towing fee.

5) More money put into our schools, playgrounds, social services, community gardens, local art and music, and sustainable local businesses.

6) Programs to keep our kids off the streets and out of gangs. A more grassroots approach to programs like CeaseFire, Earn a Bike, and the hundreds of other programs which are shown to reduce violence in poor communities.

7) Free job-training for everyone, free English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English classes to accomodate our bilingual city.
