48th Ward Mission Statement and Values

The 48th Ward Mission Statement was informed by our values of empowerment, antiracism, community, service, and joy. Read it below:

The mission of the 48th ward office is to serve the communities of Edgewater and Uptown by equitably delivering government services, while preserving and enhancing quality of life for all residents.

We are dedicated to fostering a more just society, guided by principles of antiracism and inclusivity, where every individual, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual identity, class, citizenship status, religion, history with our justice system, or gender, is valued and respected.

Rooted in service, joy, and empowerment, we strive for a community where everyone has access to the opportunities and resources necessary for success. 

Our commitment to co-governance drives our vision of a vibrant and equitable 48th ward and a stronger, more unified Chicago.
