SOUL is an organization on the South Side and South Suburbs dedicated to the belief that people ought to have decent, affordable housing, access to healthy, nutritious food in every neighborhood, a clean environment so our children will be able to breathe the air and drink the water, public transit that allows us to get to job opportunities, a full employment economy so
everyone has the opportunity to work, and living wages so people who work full-time do not remain poor. Too many people are denied these basic rights because our communities don’t have enough power, and the people who have the power are not acting in our interests. SOUL is working to build a movement to create change on those issues, starting on the South Side and South Suburbs. SOUL’s membership includes religious congregations, affordable housing groups, block clubs, students, and neighborhood groups across the South Side and South Suburbs. Current campaigns include bank/corporate accountability, community involvement in education, sewer improvements in Riverdale, better public transit, green jobs in home weatherization, and access to healthy food.
