On July 9th 2023, United Power for Action and Justice organized an action of 1267 people— organized from member institutions across Chicago and its suburbs — an assembly of organized people power to lift up the urgency, need, and power of Reclaiming Chicago, their strategic effort to rebuild the west and south side neighborhoods. United Power leaders asked Mayor Brandon Johnson for his public commitment to work with us towards at least 500 homes in the next four years and to meet again in 6 months to assess progress towards these goals.

Lake County United members were among the sister organizations of United Power who came out in support of the housing action.
