Support Grassroots Democracy and Social Justice-- Join NA4J!!

Northside Action for Justice (NA4J) is a grassroots, member-controlled
organization that builds power for low and moderate income people in order to
advance the cause of economic and social justice in our own backyards and across
the globe. We support the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the rights
of all people, regardless of income, to living conditions that meet their
physical and social needs.

What do we do at Northside Action for Justice? Members decide which issues to
focus on and take action together, winning concrete improvements for our
communities and lives.

Recent NA4J activities include:

-Stopping the privatization of a Chicago Park District facility in Rogers Park,
saving good jobs and maintaining community oversight of public facilities.

-Organizing tenants in affordable rental buildings at risk of conversion into
market rate units.

-Winning, by a 2-1 margin, a local referendum calling for 40% of TIF funds to be
allocated for affordable housing to households below the community median
income.

-Winning, by a 4-1 margin, a local referendum calling for companies that profit
from public subsidies to hire locally, pay a living wage, and respect the rights
of workers to organize.

-Organizing parents and young people in Uptown to begin a "Peace Patrol"
dialogue, and forming a "Copwatch" program to create safer and more accountable
community.

-Mobilizing in support of the workers at Republic Windows who occupied their
shuttered plant, won the benefits that they were owed, and are now working to
re-open the plant.

-Supporting efforts to improve Senn High School, based on parents and LSC plans.

One of our goals at Northside Action For Justice is to form a broad coalition of individuals and groups that can mobilize collectively and effectively in solidarity with each other. So if you are already working for justice for low and moderate income residents on the Northside, NA4J is the place for you.
