Greater Lawndale Lotería
An evidence-informed, historically grounded, and worker justice-themed educational game
Greater Lawndale Lotería was developed through a collaborative effort between community partners in Greater Lawndale and UIC. Our game features:
- 54 originally illustrated cards by Ronica Hicks, a North Lawndale artist, that reflect common jobs and places where people work in GL as well as neighborhood landmarks.
- Educational narratives co-authored by Alison Dickson and GLHW Team for each card that highlights assets, precarity levels, Chicago labor history, and more information for workers.
- An instructional and informational booklet graphically designed by Theodora Salazar, a Little Village resident.
Goals
-
Short-term goal

-
Long-term goal
To recognize and promote healthy work as a priority in GL and as a means of community healing.
