Moving our Neighborhoods Forward

Grassroots organization advocating for walkable, transit-oriented, housing-rich neighborhoods on Chicago’s Far North Side

How Can You Get Involved?

Edgewater and Uptown are two of the most dense, transit-rich, friendly neighborhoods in the city. We want them to get even better!

We support dense infill housing for people at all income levels.

We push to prioritize public transit in our well-served neighborhoods.

We introduce people to politicians, advocacy groups and the political process.

We help members join their block clubs and organize their neighbors.

We work to support small and family-owned businesses, new and old.

We use and advocate for libraries, schools, parks and other critical shared resources.

NEU was founded in spring 2025 and is still getting organized. Here’s how to get plugged in for now.
