Taking Action

(re)Chicago aims to reset the balance of power and instill accountability through a citizen-driven and informed process that leads to a voter-approved restructuring of municipal government. 

We are conducting local and national policy research and analysis, involving experts in municipal governance, while seeking the perspective of local communities and  practitioners.

Best practices implemented in varying measure and cycle by every other major U.S. city, generally in the form of a municipal charter, will serve as an important guide to our work.
