Come talk about the book everyone is talking about. It's so popular, every copy at the library has a months-long waitlist. If you can't get a copy, or don't have Spotify Premium (the audiobook is free with a subscription), watch a few of the many interviews and podcast episodes about it.

Come gather together with us at Kirk Lane Park in Niles, IL. We’ll begin with some quick speeches and then go on a one mile walk/ride/roll around the neighborhood. Afterwards, please join us for a picnic in the park and activities!
Bring your colors, rainbows, pride flags, and protest signs. Whatever makes you feel proud and exuberant. Everyone is welcome to come in support of our LGBTQIA+ community members.
Who We Are
We are Niles residents and neighbors united around common interests and a vision for a strong, vibrant, and caring community.
What We Do
We build community. We draw strength from building trust and diversity, and by providing meaningful opportunities to connect. We bring people and groups together in ways that make our community a better place.
We inform and educate. We examine issues with a local lens, create awareness of policy choices and solutions, and explore opportunities for individual and collective action.
We engage in electoral politics. We identify, train, and support new leaders. We care about local issues and races, and we work to elect candidates who will advance our shared interests and vision.
What We Believe
The members of Niles United represent a broad spectrum of personal beliefs and political affiliations. We are united around the following principles:
Inclusivity. We seek to create a more inclusive community, one that welcomes, celebrates, and treats all community members equitably, where all residents feel valued and safe to live without fear.
Transparency. We believe that governmental transparency is a critical goal. Transparency promotes accountability, trust, efficiency and effectiveness, and shines a light on corruption. It provides residents with the information needed to make informed voting decisions.
Accountability. We seek to hold accountable those in local government and others who are in positions of power.
Collaboration. We listen and learn from what people in the community are saying and support and amplify the messages of local individuals and organizations promoting social justice. We listen and learn from one another as we seek to reach common goals.
