Let’s author chicago’s future together
WHO WE ARE
A More Just Chicago is a citywide alliance that brings residents, neighborhoods, and institutions together to restore trust in local governance and shape a city that works for everyone.
Why now?
Chicago is at a turning point.
Our city faces deep challenges—financial instability, fractured politics, and communities that feel disconnected from decision-making.
Yet we also stand on the edge of extraordinary opportunity: a hub for science and innovation, a potential climate destination, and the chance to be a model for inclusive urban growth.
The choices we make in the next decade will determine whether Chicago thrives or falls further behind. Now is the moment to act boldly, together.
approach
A More Just Chicago isn’t a single program—it’s a movement.
We convene leaders from every sector and neighborhood to build real relationships, ask hard questions, and imagine bold solutions.
We combine research, civic dialogue, and coalition-building to create the conditions for change. Our work is about shaping systems, not just symptoms—aligning the best of Chicago’s energy, talent, and vision to chart a better path forward.
