THANK YOU!

The end is near! Join us for a screening of Two Summers on Hayes Avenue, a documentary examining the relationship between Rogers Park and Loyola University, looking to the future on how the university can better support the community, and how the community can better examine issues of gentrification and displacement in light of the current environment.

WHAT IS THE KIDLER?

The Kidler is a local paper for the Far Northside of Chicago covering the news in Uptown, Edgewater and Rogers Park. We're a group of passionate, involved teens who do the hard work of fact-based journalism because it's what we love. 

In the past, Kidler issues have served as the most exhaustive reporting on local aldermanic races, and connected local issues like rising lake levels and homelessness to city-wide struggles. In a period marked by the decline of quality, hyper-local journalism, the Kidler is growing, and connecting populations that lack community engagement back to their neighborhoods. 

SUBSCRIBE

We happily direct our readers to local news coverage from Block Club Chicago, the Chicago Reader, and the Loyola Phoenix. In addition, we encourage Kidler readers to walk forward into their neighborhoods armed with the facts and an investigative mindset themselves, to question the people who hold power in their communities and hold them accountable. We encourage them to become active members in local organizations fighting on the issues the Kidler covered, including ONE Northside and others around the city.
