Inner City Muslim Action Network (IMAN)
On July 27, 2024 IMAN will demonstrate the world as it could be by way of a mini festival that centers, reclamation, reimagining, and redemption in the newly developed Go Green Griot plaza, located at 63rd & Racine in Englewood, a previously abandoned lot in the historically disinvested neighborhood. This outdoor celebration will feature live music, storytelling, dance fresh foods, cooking demonstrations, movement classes, a community drum circle, screen printing, visual art activations, and will take place from 2 - 8 pm.

Alongside key surrounding neighborhood partners, Inner City Muslim Action Network (IMAN) will revitalize disinvested spaces through creative placemaking, public safety interventions, community organizing, and a holistic Federally Qualified Health Center. This entails the reactivation of an abandoned lot (Go Green Griot Plaza), a closed school, and the larger Go Green on Racine vision that includes reopening a closed public transit station through the Green Light The Green Line campaign for transit equity and economic justice. This holistic intervention approach aims to reduce the greatest urban life expectancy gap in the country.
