Decades after Racine Green Line station closed, Englewood activists renew push to reopen it

Our efforts haven't gone unnoticed!

Through awareness, and hard work we will bring change!

Thank you Mariah Rush, and The Chicago Sun Times for covering our recent efforts surrounding the Green Light, the Green Line initiative. Take a second to read the editorial, share your thoughts with us, and most importantly share this post to let the Chicago Transit Authority know where we stand on equitable investment in the ENTIRETY of our transit system.

The Racine station on the Green Line closed in 1994 when the rest of the line was renovated. Now, some residents are trying to get a referendum on the ballot to measure public support for bringing it back.

A look at the numbers….

Thank you Discover!

Yesterday we came out, and enjoyed the annual National Night Out, a community event intended to strengthen relations between communities, and those that work to serve, and protect these spaces. Everyday 101 things happen in our community that defy the common narrative. Good things do happen in Englewood, people can grow, and flourish here. Nothing is easy, but this is the fruit of our labor. And it’s well worth the effort! Thank you to the 7th Police district it was a wonderful night out!

🎉 Congratulations 🎉 to our community partner @imagineenglewoodif , the new land owners of the Peace Campus located on 64th & Honore.This is a huge success in the efforts to further establish equity in our own community.

Timeliness is paramount in the effort to maintain employment. Our partnership with @lyft has allowed us to increase job retention rates among our clients by providing emergency transportation services. This helps prevent transportation mishaps from turning into job losses. And for that we say, Thank You Lyft!

The times are always changing, and we’re changing with them in order to provide the best service possible to the Englewood community.

“A lot of people leaving prison say, ‘I’m going home.’ But you don’t have a home. You’ve been locked up three, four, five years—you don’t have a home,” said Mark Mitchell, Associate Director of Teamwork Englewood, who was also formerly incarcerated.

Without employment, housing, or resources, individuals who are released from prison often end up at homeless shelters or are rearrested. That’s why organizations like Teamwork Englewood work to mentor formerly incarcerated individuals through its reentry programs.
