The Southwest Collective
United States
Приєднався 25 лис 2019
We're a very small, grassroots community group on the southwest side of Chicago, near Midway Airport. We organize our communities to fight for equality, safety and a level playing field for all.
Nourishing Our Neighbors
The southwest side of Chicago, home to vibrant Latine and Black communities, faces deep-rooted systemic inequities in its food system. The Southwest Collective, informed by the Chicago Health Atlas, identifies household food insecurity as a significant social determinant of health. Here's how we advocate for food waste redistribution, and nourish our neighbors when the existing infrastructure doesn't reach everyone equitably.

We rode the length of Archer Avenue in Chicago, from State all the way to the city limits at Harlem. Here’s what popped up along the way. These obstacles are a big reason why we stick to the side streets for our monthly community bike rides (but it would be nice to be able to bike on Archer).
