Skokie Vision 2
Skokie Vision #2: I love this "lighthouse community" vision from a Skokian who attended our campaign launch. In fact, if elected, I intend to work with Skokie residents and the Village Board to implement the thoughtful Principles of the Welcoming Community, which serve as that very "guide for what a progressive, inclusive community should be." I led the drafting of these Principles by a diverse group of over 30 people from 9 northern suburbs back in 2014/15 when I directed the housing, economic, and social justice organization, Open Communities. I am so proud of these Welcoming Community Principles. Skokie has everything it takes to be a lighthouse community, starting with its people.
