I can get you in contact with Tammy Besser, who is a garden leader at Hello Howard and was my boss when I interned there this summer. I am a student and don't know much about community activism, but I am in an environmental politics and environmental justice
class so I know that there are things that the community can do to fight back. As of now, they don't even have a concrete plan for what they are building at the site, so I think that if enough community members and groups express their opposition to the development,
maybe it would make a difference. </div>

Hello! My name is Lu, I'm a student at Loyola and a member of the Rogers Park community. Over the summer, I interned at the Hello Howard Community Garden and got to know the community on a more personal level. I received news yesterday that there is a development
project that is planning on tearing down the garden to fulfill their "economic recovery plan". I have been reaching out to different groups that understand the importance of community gardens in communities because I know a lot of community members do not
want to sit down and let this development happen. I am wondering if you have any knowledge, resources, or people you can direct me to that can help me understand how to tackle this problem. There is a community meeting on Tuesday, Oct 15 at 6pm at Gale Academy
I will be attending along with other garden leaders. I know it's short notice, but seeing as you are a group that supports community gardens, I would love to hear your feedback on this issue.</div>
