How you can help today

Yesterday, a newcomer to the neighborhood, Ben, left a lovely comment. Among his words were these:

I support our city's cultural institutions as much as anyone, but our parks are OUR parks, and once they're gone, they're gone.

Ben asked to be counted among the list of those who support preserving the park. There is no list maintained at this site, but there are simple ways that you can support the park. Here are some that you should know:

Please contact Alderman Natarus. Do this today. Just a few sentences will get your message across.

If possible, come to the meeting on May 10, 6:30-7:30 at Daley Bicentennial Plaza. Whether or not you can come to the meeting yourself, please spread the word among your neighbors and friends and ask them to come. Past experience has shown us that the number of people who come to neighborhood meetings is extremely important to Alderman Natarus, and that he is prepared to take action on behalf of communities who show commitment in this way.

Drop a note to the editors of newspapers that you read. Yesterday's article in the Metro section of The Chicago Tribune is first significant piece that has mentioned neighborhood opposition to moving the Chicago Children's Museum to the Daley Bicentennial Plaza site. If the local papers receive a steady stream of letters opposing the move, more coverage will follow.
