On September 16, JNDC convened a Community Safety Partners meeting at the South Asian American Chamber of Commerce of Illinois, bringing together civic, faith, and community leaders to strengthen relationships around public safety concerns in West Rogers Park and nearby neighborhoods.

Coming together for our fifth meeting, participants reflected a growing spirit of trust and cooperation among local organizations, police representatives, elected officials, and faith leaders — all working collectively to ensure a safer and more connected community.

State Senator Ram Villivalam and State Representative Kevin Olickal joined the discussion, offering updates on safety initiatives and reinforcing the importance of partnership in addressing shared concerns.

This ongoing initiative reflects JNDC’s commitment to fostering relationships, building understanding, and strengthening the networks that help our diverse community thrive.
