The petition from my essay “Noticing Isn’t the Hard Part.”

Petition

How many Chicagoans believe neighbors deserve to know how many asked the city to fix the same problem, and what came of it?

When you sign with your ward, your dot lights up in it, placed at random, never at your address.

Wildfire is a public place for Chicagoans who notice the same problem and want to do more than start over alone. It helps neighbors find one another, turn concern into action, and keep the answer—or silence—on the record.

Signing adds your name to the count. Names stay private. I’ll text you when the count passes 100, 500 and 1,000, and once when Wildfire opens in January, with a link to join.

I believe neighbors deserve to know how many asked the city to fix the same problem, and what came of it.
