In 2021 Tom was brought to Berwyn (via Zoom) to do a TIF Illumination of the TIFs of Berwyn. The sponsors was newly elected City Councilman Rob Pabon of the 5th Ward and the Rizoma Collective from Cicero. Rob and his allies successfully organized and shut down the proposed TIF. It never happened! This is the first time, in my awareness, that neighbors were able to cancel a TIF that was this far along in its development! Contact us at tom at tresser dot com

The Saturday after the TIF Illumination, Rob and allies, including people who were on the March 10 call, met to knock on doors in the area where the proposed TIF was to be located. They distributed this piece, which was in Spanish on the other side.
