Find Your Community
We're proud to be an all volunteer organization that is powered by real people, working together, to build a better ward, Chicago, and world.
Our work is possible because of members and supporters who put in time, resources, and financial support.
Become a Member
Members of 33 Ward Working Families have a direct voice and a vote in shaping our shared work. Members pay monthly dues in whatever amount works for them. Sign up to pay dues, which is one step in becoming a member.
Support Our Work
Supporters may live inside or outside the ward, and support 33WWF by helping us campaign for candidates, participating in community events, and donating funds. Support our organization today.
As a member-run organization, our members drive all our work. Members lead our events, run our campaigns, and are empowered to guide the direction of the organization by voting on important decisions. Many members also join specific committees. In addition to our member-run Steering Committee, we have 5 committees that meet monthly:
Communications & Arts Committee
Community Engagement Committee
Membership Committee
Organizing Committee
Political Committee
You can become a member by attending 33WWF events, signing up to pay dues, and participating in our membership onboarding process, including a Membership 101 session.
Everyone has a different level of engagement and capacity. We want you to find the level and type of engagement that works for you. There are many ways to get started, including:
Sign up today to receive regular email updates about upcoming events like campaign canvasses, monthly general member meetings and more. If you're new to the organization, signing up for the newsletter is a great first step!
We host a free, pop-up coffee hour and a book club once a month. We also regularly host other social events. Check out our calendar to RSVP and attend.
Once a month, we gather for a hybrid general member meeting (check our calendar to confirm the date!). You can attend in-person at 3248 W. Montrose or RSVP online to receive a video meeting link. This is a great opportunity to meet people from the organization and learn a little more about the work we do. General meetings are open to non-members.
Regardless of the election cycle, we spend time knocking doors in our neighborhood to speak with neighbors about relevant topics to the community. During elections seasons, we share information about the candidates we support. If it's your first time canvassing or you'd like more support,we can help you practice, pair you up with a buddy, or match you up with another role to support a canvass.
