Progressive community organizer running for Chicago’s 44th Ward to build a Lakeview for all

I'm supporting Kalen Luciano for the 44th ward. We need more renter protections and he supports just cause like the Institute for Public Good and Chicago Housing Initiative.

I am grateful to have earned the endorsement of Chicago DSA! Together, we will continue delivering material results for working people in the 35th Ward & across Chicago. We need a city council that will tax the rich & invests in housing, public transit, parks, schools, & healthcare for all!

One of my favorite Chicago street transformations is also a great example of why quick-build matters: Damen at Milwaukee. We don’t always have to wait for a major capital project to rethink a street. Start with something inexpensive. Test it. See how people use it. Refine it. Then make it permanent.

Three images show the transformation of Damen Avenue at Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago from 2016 to 2021. In 2016, the space is excess roadway; in 2019, planters and quick-build materials reclaim it for people; and by 2021, it has been rebuilt as a permanent plaza.

Chicago's lakefront trail is incredible - but the official route to get downtown? An absolutely terrifying trip down lower Randolph! People biking deserve better access between Chicago's downtown and lakefront, and you can help make it happen.

We asked people why they’re voting for me for Chicago’s 44th Ward. The message was clear: Lakeview wants someone who listens to everyday people, makes our streets safer, and builds a neighborhood that everyone can afford.

I’m running for Chicago’s 44th Ward Alderperson to create a neighborhood where everyone can thrive. These are my top priorities: affordable housing, safe streets, and a people-powered government. More details on my platform on my website kalenfor44.com

I am so excited that we have the opportunity to have someone in office who truly understands what it takes to make our streets safer for all our neighbors! If you like what Lakeview Urbanists have been doing, Kalen has been the lead force behind it Learn more about his platform: www.kalenfor44.com

I'm so excited to see a progressive like Kalen running in 44 - I've spent time in Lakeview since I was a kid, and it's only gotten more expensive every year, and biking and walking hasn't gotten any safer! If you want to help make a better Lakeview, donate at: secure.actblue.com/donate/kalen...
