Mayor Rahm Emanuel brought together elected officials, including U.S. Congressmen Luis Gutierrez and Danny Davis, faith-based leaders, students, community organizers and residents from across the City to launch the new One Chicago campaign. The campaign is the visual depiction of Chicago’s value promise that everyone is welcome in this City no matter their race, religion, background or sexual orientation. “Chicago is a city of immigrants. Each story is unique, but out of many stories comes one story,” said Mayor Emanuel during the launch at The DuSable Museum of African American History. “Our diversity is our strength. Our diversity is what makes us great. And no matter the road you traveled to get here, Chicago will always be a welcoming city to all.”

Central to the campaign is a new website, www.onechi.org. The website works to facilitate access to resources like legal protection, Know Your Rights Training, mental health services and more. “Since its founding in 1837, families from around the country and throughout the world have made Chicago their home. The One Chicago campaign works to celebrate those different journeys while uniting their voices as one people, one home, and one City,” said Congressman Gutierrez. In addition to the website, the stories will be featured in television and radio public service announcements, as well as featured in print on various bus shelters, news racks and digital billboards across Chicago. The campaign’s One Chicago star log will also be posted in libraries, store fronts and other locations throughout the City. For more information on the One Chicago campaign, visit www.OneChi.org.
