The organizer will develop and implement leadership development, base-building, and campaign plans.

She’s been awarded by the Field and MacArthur foundations. Moreover, we’re sad but proud to share that she’s leaving STOP to become chief of staff to City Council’s education committee.

Get to know our new restorative-justice coordinator, Anna Durr, and housing organizers, Marilyn Harper and Porsche’ Patrice. And join them at a housing town hall this Saturday at 11am in Woodlawn.

After over a decade of service, our current Executive Director, Alex Goldenberg, is moving on.

The Coordinator will train and build the capacity of students, parents, teachers, staff, and community to engage in RJ practices. The coordinator will also support youth organizing.

She shares: “I first got involved with STOP through Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100)'s participation in the CBA coalition. From the intergenerational participation to the town halls, I was hooked.”

Help STOP take our CBA work to the next level and continue to build the power of low income and working-class Black tenants in Woodlawn and surrounding neighborhoods.

She has been active in social justice causes ranging from anti-war and peace movements, anti-domestic violence, and AIDS activism. Most recently, Cheryl helped to lead the fight to organize a union for cab drivers.

The full-time organizer will lead the campaign for opening and fully funding the City’s public mental-health clinics, and will assist the youth-led campaign to remove police from schools and reinvest in restorative alternatives.
