About this listen

In our opening episode, we plunge into Lake Meadows and the fast-changing landscape of Black Chicago, where sudden rent hikes and strategic evictions threaten to upend lives overnight. Community organizer Marquinn McDonald wakes before dawn to face the crisis on his block, while nonprofit leader Akilah McCord races grant deadlines just to keep families afloat. You’ll hear from tenants caught in a wave of displacement and experts like Michelle Kennedy, who explain just how high the stakes have become. As the episode closes, we pull back the curtain on the larger forces shaping this crisis—hinting at the power struggles and unraveling alliances that will define the battles ahead.
