Coalition. "the growing together of parts," from French coalition (1540s), from Late Latin coalitus "fellowship," originally past participle of Latin coalescere "unite, grow together, become one in growth"
We have a new ally in the growing alliance of people from all over the city and the country trying to save our park from privatization and the building of a monumental tower complex for the glory of one man.
Jackson Park was created for the use and enjoyment of the people who have paid for it: the citizens of Chicago. For over 100 years, Chicagoans–Black, Latino, White, Asian, American Indian–have paid for our urban green space to rest, to enjoy our small slices of nature, to lose ourselves in play. The Coalition believes that no private organization should take away our public lands for its own use.
