Chicago's challenges can be framed in terms of social disconnectedness.

Too many of our communities have become disenfranchised, underserved, and marginalized.

Struggling families can become fractured.  Individuals all across our city feel lonely, disconnected, and alienated. 

Supportive relationships and the opportunities that come with them can feel out of reach.

These are all manifestations of social disconnect.
