South Shores Works Presents Its 5th Annual Community Summit SHORE YOU’RE RIGHT!
SHORE YOU’RE RIGHT!
at Adam Clayton Powell School. The summit, as in previous years, is convening to strategize and plan tactics to address years of disinvestment and destructive public policy. South Shore residents are aggressively fighting to elevate and revitalize their community, while seeking development that will not result in the displacement of current residents.
‘SHORE YOU’RE RIGHT,’ is South Shore Works, leadership effort to close the gaping dichotomy between being a beautiful lakeside community; plagued by the highest number of evictions in the city, the largest percentage of Section 8 housing and ranking among the top six most
crime-ridden neighborhoods in Chicago. That circumstance stands in stark contrast to South Shore being a community that boasts three yacht clubs, two golf courses three beaches and proximity to the Obama Presidential
Center, currently under construction.
According to Dr. Carol Adams, Founder and Co-Chair of South Shore Works. “Residents and organizations in South Shore have been meeting and planning toimplement a future, which transforms our beautiful lakefront community from one characterized by disinvestment and neglect into a
revitalized and prosperous neighborhood, economically, socially and
culturally.”
