“ONE CITY” MEANS…
Where every resident:
• Participates in a diverse, thriving, equitable economy
• Lives in safe neighborhoods free of crime, whether in Northeast,
Southeast, Northwest, or Southwest
• Has quality public or public charter schools no matter what
neighborhood he or she lives in
• Has a high quality of life that includes access to quality healthcare,
recreation, transportation, and retail choices in every Ward of the
city
• Lives in neighborhoods in which affordable and luxury housing easily
co-exist and where our low and moderate income residents can
thrive
• Receives a solid return on investment and high quality customer
service from their government
• Lives in the most environmentally sound, sustainable city in the world
There is another element that must be
present in our struggle that then makes
our resistance and nonviolence truly
meaningful.
That element is reconciliation.
Our ultimate end must be
the creation of
the beloved community.
