Jahmal Cole’s 77-Community Listening Tour | Chicago News

Jahmal Cole’s bold mission: to personally visit every one of Chicago’s 77 neighborhoods, building real relationships and uncovering hidden strengths. Starting in February 2025, he’s already connected with communities like South Shore and Humboldt Park, listening to block club leaders, business owners, and elected officials — all while shattering stereotypes by discovering the shared humanity behind every street. In areas often labeled dangerous, he’s found powerful grassroots resilience and mutual aid. After 18 months, his goal? To keep listening — not talking — for the next 77 months, learning directly from residents how best to support them.
