Chicago, IL IMAN
One powerful project coming out of Chicago is led by the Inner-City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) and local partners in the Englewood neighborhood. Alongside their ongoing work through their holistic Federally Qualified Health Center, the team plans to reactivate an abandoned lot, the Go Green Griot Plaza, a closed school and even a closed public transit station. This reparative and healing-informed intervention approach aims to reduce the greatest urban life expectancy gap in the country and celebrate their communities’ rich, brilliant, expansive traditions.
