What is Beyond Today?

Beyond Today was started by members of the Riverbank Neighbors in January of 2003 as part of our effort to stop the war and to work on broader environmental and social justice issues.

The neighborhood where most of us live is near the Chicago River in Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, and North Center, but quite a few people come from other neighborhoods too. Many of us are also part of Riverbank Neighbors and act as stewards of the riverbank.

We are a community of people who work, learn, and advocate for environmental and social justice.

Some of the issues we've addressed include:

  • Pesticide mosquito spray
  • Organic Community gardens
  • River Issues
  • TIF reform
  • Anti-War initiatives
  • Native plant and remnant prarie protection
  • Coal Power Plant protests
  • Climate Change (350.org)
  • and much more
