CHICAGO ~ Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, along with other elected officials, community partners, clergy members, and residents of Little Village, launched the first event of the "A Day in the Ward" series. This initiative aims to strengthen collaboration between the City of Chicago and its neighborhoods by showcasing the city's investments and providing a platform for residents to connect with city leaders.
The event was designed to not only highlight ongoing efforts to improve public safety, youth programs, and economic development but also to actively involve communities in shaping their future. Mayor Johnson emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating that Chicago's neighborhoods are the heart of the city and it is crucial for every community to feel supported by City Hall.
The inaugural event took place in the 22nd Ward and brought together a diverse group of community leaders, elected officials, and business owners. The program included conversations with local business owners about how city resources have strengthened the neighborhood economy, roundtable discussions with faith leaders on pressing issues such as community safety and public trust, collaborative forums with youth and violence prevention advocates discussing the impact of programs like One Summer Chicago, and public remarks from Mayor Johnson and other local leaders highlighting investments in public infrastructure.

22nd Ward Alderman Mike Rodriguez expressed his pride in hosting the first "A Day in the Ward" event and his commitment to working with Mayor Johnson to uplift every resident and family in his ward.
This initiative marks a new chapter in Mayor Johnson's administration's efforts to make government more accessible, accountable, and responsive to its citizens. Since taking office, there have been significant investments made in the 22nd Ward including a 42% increase in youth employment through One Summer Chicago, $22 million invested in various infrastructure projects through the Chicago Department of Transportation, grants awarded for climate infrastructure projects at Malinalli Garden and Los Candiles Restaurant through various city departments.
In addition to "A Day in the Ward," Mayor Johnson also launched another community engagement initiative over the summer called "Take Back the Block." This initiative brought together community organizations, faith-based groups, businesses, and city government to support communities impacted by summer violence. Six community safety activations were held throughout the city, providing safe spaces for families and connecting residents with resources for mental and physical health, workforce development, and job opportunities. The Johnson Administration also deployed infrastructure departments to complete critical repairs and maintenance in each activation area.
