Southside Together Organizing for Power (STOP) and Not Me We have merged to become Southside Together!

We build people power by organizing Black, poor, and working-class community members in Woodlawn, South Shore, Greater Grand Crossing, Park Manor and all adjacent neighborhoods, to secure economic stability and advance human rights.

We cultivate grassroots infrastructure and develop leadership to enable self determination and take back resources for our communities.

We organize:

tenants, to preserve and improve affordable housing. They are currently leading the campaign for a Community Benefits Agreement around the Obama Center.
health advocates for free public mental-health centers, and for non-police crisis response: Treatment Not Trauma.
youth and their parents from middle school and high school. We nurture young people’s vision for social change and developing their leadership to take on issues they choose, such as restorative justice.

And we do mutual aid!
