For more than 100 years, The Chicago Community Trust has convened, supported, funded, and accelerated the work of community members and changemakers committed to strengthening the Chicago region. From building up our civic infrastructure to spearheading our response to the Great Recession, the Trust has brought our community together to face pressing challenges and seize our greatest opportunities. Today, that means confronting the racial and ethnic wealth gap.

The project will produce and publish a set of bilingual (Spanish/English) long format news features and interviews with Hispanic leaders, activists, thinkers, creators, and survivors who are building a safer Chicago through community empowerment, identity strengthening, intersectional action, violence prevention, and collaborative communication among other strategies. For example, we will cover the local efforts against human trafficking, a grave crime that severely affects the community, and specifically hurts women, children, immigrants, and other vulnerable groups. In fact, our approach will be multidisciplinary and wide, considering safety not only in relation to security and prevention of crime and violence, but as a complex phenomenon that includes social, economic, political, educational, cultural, and other structural instances related to wellness, economic opportunity, preservation and exercise of rights, the fight against bias, exploitation and discrimination, and community empowerment.
