A small point of clarification
Since the article was posted in the PG about our group and our concerns about drilling in Lincoln Place a number of people have confused us with the already existing 31st Ward Community Action Group and the 31st Ward Wire.
We wanted to make make sure that you knew that we were not affiliated with, or a part of the 31st Ward Community Action Group, or vice versa.
Yes, we do share similar concerns about what goes on in our neighborhood and are both diligently working to make it a better place for our neighbors, however we are not one in the same.
When we have issues and concerns that overlap, we have and will continue to work together, but we are two different operations with different goals.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at: lpactiongroup@gmail.com
