In Chicago, We Believe

Chicago is known throughout the world as an inclusive city. The city is well regarded for its LGBTQ+ history, neighborhoods, culture, and 77 welcoming neighborhoods.

Local leaders continue to move the needle of progress forward for LGBTQ+ people, families, and communities; and by doing so, spur economic growth by signaling to residents, visitors and employers that their city is open to everyone.

This is why we have launched a new ad campaign, In Chicago We Believe that promotes the city’s long-standing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, not only as just a business positive, but as a principled value defining the city at a historic national moment.?

In Chicago We Believe appeared in the April 7th edition of the Dallas Morning News, Orlando Sentinel and the Phoenix Business Journal. This latest initiative follows our highly successful 2021 campaign, Dear Texas, where we contrasted the Windy City against Texas’ restrictive voting laws and poor record on reproductive rights.

In Chicago We Believe emphasizes the city’s core values, including the beliefs that:

• Government should lift up residents rather than sow censorship and cruelty.
• All children, and especially transgender youth, need the support of their family, friends, educators, community, and medical professionals.
• Diversity, equity and inclusion includes LGBTQ+ communities, identities, and experiences.
