Blocks Together would like to give you an opportunity to invest in Trauma and Community Informed programming! Your contribution will help sustain our trauma-responsive programming and grassroots leadership organizing. For over 25 years , BT programs and initiatives have equipped the community with the knowledge and tools necessary to push for sustainable development and policy changes. Your contributions will help to support our impactful community-organizing work like: the Gang Database Initiative, TIF Toolkit, Village Keepers Project, and Konkrete Jungle.
When the toll of the global COVID-19 pandemic hit the city of Chicago, BT (like many other community-based organizations) faced the dilemma of fighting for our community’s fair share of vital resources in an entirely new context. These “unprecedented” circumstances have demanded that we redefine how our organization helped the community. They also reinforced our values of collective work and solidarity.
The honor of working with the community to help it achieve its goals is not one we take lightly. Our staff and volunteers are very creative and resourceful people. But the sustainability of our work combating health crises, decreasing violence and displacement, and addressing trauma relies on your financial contributions.
