Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot joined city departments and agencies to launch “Our City. Our Safety.,” a citywide initiative to promote more than 100 youth programs, activities and community events happening across Chicago this Memorial Day Weekend. Created in collaboration by several city departments and agencies, “Our City. Our Safety.” is designed to centralize the city’s key resources, making it easier for residents to access city services, youth programming and community events with a new website that is more accessible, transparent, and user-friendly. The wide range of programs and activities are provided by the city’s departments, community-based organizations and cultural institutions to keep residents safe and engaged throughout the holiday weekend. Residents, community and church leaders are also encouraged to gather together in their communities to create a safe environment throughout our city. With the new initiative, young adults and families are able to locate hundreds of in-person community engagement and alternative programming opportunities all in one easy-to-access location at: https://www.chicago.gov/summer. The new site will be updated in real-time throughout the entire summer so families can locate opportunities and events happening in their neighborhoods and communities. All events have the common goal to provide positive alternatives for youth to take advantage of this weekend and throughout the summer.
