Vacant Lots to Jackpots

“Let gardening be your weapon of mass creation.” —Ron Finley

  • See it.

    It all started with a vision. A vision for a cleaner more peaceful neighborhood and a healthier community. A place where kids walking to school didn’t have to see vacant lots full of broken glass and trash. Instead of waiting for the powers that be to come save us, we created a plan for inspiration and transformation.

  • Believe it

    We organized the community and put our plans into action. Although there were many challenges along the way, our unwavering belief attracted the people and resources who could us turn dreams to reality. Pull Up The City is now a thriving community and a way of life.

We are building and beautifying Chicago West Side neighborhoods by transforming vacant lots to community wellness sanctuaries that provide access to nature, healthy food, physical fitness, mental wellness, revolutionary art and radical vibes.
