We look forward to entering the new year in deeper and more intentional solidarity, continuing to collaborate for justice while caring for ourselves and one another. Wishing you peace, restoration, and love this holiday season. 💕
Rest & celebration are not retreat from the work but a vital part of sustaining & expanding it. In this season of pause & celebration, we honor rest as resistance, care as strategy, & joy as fuel for the long road ahead.
Together, we also held space for visioning & planning for futures we want to build including research & knowledge sharing partnerships rooted in community power, lived experience, & shared commitment to health justice.
This work calls for courage and persistence and it also calls for rest and joy.
Happy holidays from the Alliance for Research with Chicagoland Communities! As we close out 2025, we hold deep gratitude for the ways our community continued to show up for one another, organizing, questioning, resisting, & advocating in the face of ongoing harm impacting our neighborhoods.
West Garfield Park residents are expected to live on average until 67 years old, compared to 87 in the Loop. This is the widest death gap in Chicago.

For the public health community, the moral imperative is clear. It must uphold its values to protect the needy, denounce racism & other forms of discrimination, & advocate social justice-regardless of political retribution."
