If…

• we empower emerging union leaders (rank and file leaders) to operate as community organizers in their own neighborhoods and can utilize the skills they have as union leaders in the context of their neighborhoods
• union members can find their common interests within their community by talking to each other and emerging leaders can carry their skills and experience from their union and into their community.  
• we could connect 1K union members who are fighting together for better wages and working conditions to their shared neighborhood  struggles,

• we had these bases of political power and key targeted geographies and could add that to the power we currently have, 

Then…

• we could build local organizing communities comprised of local rank and file union leaders in those neighborhoods and their friends and families. 
• we have a set of skilled leaders ready for community organizing. 
• then we could bring that organized power, skills, to building the kind of political power necessary to turn chicago into a place where communities in Chicago could thrive. 
• we could have this once in a lifetime opportunity to shift direction of investments in the city.
