A message from our comrades in Albany Park:

Help Us Raise Funds To Save Our Organizing Space

We are the Albany Park Organizing Committee, an organization made up of the working class and poor people of Albany Park and the surrounding communities. Our primary purpose is for the advancement of our class. We seek to develop community control over community resources through struggle, solidarity, and education.

We have been organizing in Albany Park for 2.5 years. Over this time we have established a network of poor and working class activists and supporters who work together to support each other and the masses of Albany Park. Through collaboration and feedback from the neighborhood we have initiated programs and campaigns designed for the people and conditions in our community.

In our time building our organization we have accomplished and achieved a lot:

• Our food and clothing distribution has been meeting the needs of community members since we began our work 2.5 years on the corner of Central Park and Lawrence.
• For the past two winters we have turned our organizing space into a warming center for our cold and unhoused neighbors.
• We have stood up and defeated gentrifier developers who sought to commodify our community.
• Over the pandemic we gave the community access to medical care and facilitated the distribution of PPE, vaccines, and tests as we worked together to make it through the worst of COVID-19.
• We tend to a community garden that provides fresh produce for our distributions.
• We meet the request from our community for ESL resources with weekly ESL classes.

We are asking all who support the work that is being done to donate what they can to save our space. We need consistent sustainable funding to continue our organizing.
