Give a Minute for Chicago

Posted by Natalie Campbell on November 04, 2010

“Hey Chicago, what would encourage you to walk, bike or take CTA more often?” CEOs for Cities launched the Give a Minute for Chicago campaign this week to help answer that question. Give a Minute is a new model for citizen participation. It’s an easy way to share ideas about how to make Chicago an easier place to get around without owning a car, connect those ideas with change-making community leaders, and make things happen. And citizens only need one minute of their time for this interaction.

Citizens can text their ideas to 312.380.0436 or post them to the Give a Minute website at www.giveaminute.info. These ideas will guide recommendations during the Connectivity Challenge in Chicago December 8-10. The Give a Minute for Chicago campaign was made possible through the generous support of the Chicago Transit Authority.
