Residents in the neighborhood of Pilsen, Chicago, worked for over a decade to plant and maintain trees, grass, and flowers in what used to be a blighted empty lot. Now a developer is planning on turning it into a parking lot.

They are collecting signatures and asking people to contact Mayor Daley and Alderman Solís in support of the garden. For more info and/or to help out:

  • This is sad... you got my support! I don't live in the pilsen area anymore but more then willing to participate in demonstrations... I love and miss Pilsen! God Bless you in your struggle and please inform me on upcoming protest/gatherings! Been years since I have lived in Pilsen but visit it everday! To eat or visit Harrison Park with my dogs... I don't live too far now.... McKinley Park area... so I understand the changes... but the city with its outrages taxex shutting out people!

  • in the interest of our rapidly shrinking green spaces in chicago, for the love of people who care about them and the generations who enjoy these healthy community spaces, i am putting the word out to my friends to help raise awareness of this struggle- from one community gardener in humboldt park to another in pilsen! keep it up!
