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, history about Chicago labor movements, and know your rights information.
- An instructional and informational booklet graphically designed by Theodora Salazar, a Little Village resident.
Goals
-
Short-term goal
To inform critical dialogue and challenge knowledge, attitudes and beliefs related to work and health in GL among stakeholders, such as community members, youth, small business owners, and workers.
-
Long-term goal
To recognize and promote healthy work as a social justice priority in GL.

We’ve heard youth saying that they think more critically about the work that their parents are engaged in… The preliminary findings reflect that there’s been a shift in knowledge, attitudes and beliefs.
