South and West Siders who live with heavy pollution call their neighborhoods sacrifice zones.

On Tuesday, a number of them told city lawmakers that they need a law with teeth that will protect them from dirty industry. https://t.co/PUjIR6GZkJ

Moral of the story: when it comes to providing human rights, don't wait for people's imaginations to catch up. Create the reality you know is possible and many times they'll make the leap with you. Sometimes you just have to show them.

Reflections on affordable housing in Chicago: you cannot build affordable housing only where it’s cheapest, or only where people will protest the least. You have to build it where it’s needed, which is everywhere.

So what does it take to transform government?

Leaders who question & reflect. Spaces that create breathing room for inspiration and growth. A commitment to take risks, challenge what we think we know, & imagine more for our city.

It takes all of us doing that, everyday.
