Our Giselle Hale event is this week! 🏘️

At 6pm on Wednesday, June 25, join AHIL at Taft Law's office in the Loop for a conversation on housing abundance with Giselle Hale!

Giselle is Managing Partner of the Abundance Network. She has a trifecta of expertise in campaigns (Obama 08, Eshoo for Congress), tech (Facebook), and policymaking as the former Mayor of Redwood City. She recently launched Abundance Elected, a nationwide network for local elected officials who are eager to implement abundance principles and elevate the quality of life for their constituents.

This is a members-only event. If you are not already an AHIL member, tickets can be purchased for $35, which includes a one-year membership. Members who did not receive the promotion code via email can find it in our Slack or by replying to this email. If you plan on bringing a guest, please purchase two tickets - you will be prompted to enter your guest's name and ZIP code after clicking "Register".

Note: Ticket sales will end 48 hours prior to the event so that the RSVP list can be shared with building security. To RSVP after ticket sales end, please email hello@abundanthousingillinois.org so that we can add your name to the building list.

RSVP to chat abundance with Giselle Hale!

Urbanist Playdates are having a moment

Earlier this month, our Evanston members hosted our first-ever "Urbanist Playdate" event, and it was a hit! Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss even stopped by to say hi. Building on our first event's success, we're hosting another one next weekend!

Come together with neighbors at 9am on June 28th to play, snack, clean up, and talk about Envision Evanston 2045 and upzoning in a relaxed social setting!

If you're interested in hosting an Urbanist Playdate event in your neighborhood, please let us know and we can help you set one up!

RSVP for our next Urbanist Playdate!
