From the Bench: July 2017

Because our yard doesn’t provide high visibility for signs, we decided to leave this here:

Hate Has No Home Here
Hatehasnohomehere.org

Established November 2016, in the North Park neighborhood of Chicago, IL, Hate Has No Home Here is an all-volunteer, neighborhood-based movement that seeks to counter hate and intolerance through positive messaging and community-building practices. The project began with a group of neighbors unaffiliated with any political party or candidate, seeking to establish their community as a safe place for all who live or visit there. For more information or to find out how to get involved, visit hatehasnohome.org.

It Truly Takes a Village

Thanks to the power of Nextdoor and Facebook, we recently had the opportunity to participate in a backyard clean-up and fence repair for a couple of neighbors that needed a little help. More than 20 people showed up, from neighborhoods all over! It was wonderful to see so many come together for a good cause. More of this, please! Know someone who needs a hand? Post about it!
