Acerca de

SOUL is a not-for-profit, faith-based organization whose mission is to assist low-income people of color in the Chicago Southland to build power and then leverage it to fight for their own interests and liberation.  We achieve this mission by partnering with congregations, people of faith, and local community groups, training them in disciplined organizing strategies to build leadership, educate residents about the impact of public policy, engage in direct action, and hold their public officials accountable to the interest of their communities.

We are working to build a movement to create change. We are dedicated to believing that all people deserve decent and affordable housing, access to healthy, nutritious food in every neighborhood, and a sanitary environment where people can breathe clean air and drink clean water. We demand a full-employment economy so that everyone (despite their skin color, economic demographic, prior criminal history, etc.) can work with access to sustainable, living-wage employment. We believe good, quality public education is a right, not a privilege. And we are committed to ensuring that public funds are leveraged fairly, to invest resources in the communities that need them the most, and not redistributed to keep local economies beholden to corporate greed.
