If you’ve never started seeds from scratch, this is your sign 🌱 It’s easier than you think.
Today we started seedlings for the Social Change Community Farm. These tiny seeds will soon grow into fresh vegetables that will nourish our community, support our free farmers markets, and help expand access to healthy food on Chicago’s South Side.
Watching something grow from a tiny seed into food that feeds your neighbors is powerful.
Part 2 will be about how to thin the plants (since we put 2-3 seeds)
If you want to volunteer, learn about gardening, or support the farm, stay connected. The season is just beginning 🌿

Spotlighting Patti Vazquez this Women’s History Month :Chicago’s own Patti Vasquez has spent her career proving that humor can be powerful and that a microphone can be a tool for truth.
As a comedian, writer, and radio host, Patti has built a space where laughter and real conversations live side by side. Whether she’s on stage or behind the mic, she isn’t afraid to talk about politics, culture, identity, and the everyday experiences that shape our lives.
Her voice has become a familiar one across Chicago. Through comedy and media, she challenges people to think, question, and sometimes laugh at the absurdity of the world around us.
Women like Patti remind us that storytelling matters. Speaking up matters. And sometimes the most powerful way to deliver the truth is with a little humor.
This Women’s History Month, we celebrate women who use their voices boldly and unapologetically.
The world is better because of it.
