We’re thrilled to announce this year’s Power of Place awardee, Kimberly Foxx, former resident of Cabrini-Green Homes and Cook County State’s Attorney.
Kim Foxx is a trailblazing advocate for justice reform, transparency, and equitable public safety in Cook County, and we look forward to honoring her on April 18.
In an interview for the Power of Place Project, Kim reflected on her time growing up in Cabrini-Green Homes, “I think of that place, often, particularly in the work that I do, because it was, at the time, symbolic of all of these failures of government that were being pushed as failures of people. My whole mission in life, particularly in the work that I do here, is recognizing that in those neighborhoods that have been devastated by failed policies, there is brilliance and talent and purpose that requires me to see them with a vision that other people can't.”
