On Sunday afternoon, July 26, Tenth Dems joined more than a dozen other community organizations at the Winnetka Village Green to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Northshore Summer Project, the grassroots movement that brought Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to rally thousands of Chicagoland residents in support of social justice.
The event featured songs, fun, food, and speeches by such luminaries as William McNary, Co-Director for Citizen Action/Illinois, and 9th District Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky.
With a call for a renewed commitment to social justice, the event also honored the 25th anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Tenth Dems was a partner in the event and drew many visitors to its booth, which was anchored by Tenth Dems’ very own “cardboard Obama.”
