The Southwest Organizing Project’s (SWOP) mission is to build a broad-based organization of Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith institutions, public and private schools and other institutions in Southwest Chicago, which will enable families to exercise common values, determine their own future and connect with each other to improve life in their neighborhoods. To this end, leaders of SWOP have dedicated themselves to building relationships across racial, ethnic, generational and faith differences and to bringing the common concerns of their institutions into the public life of the community as they develop the capacity to act collectively and “stand for the whole.”

SWOP partners with Holy Cross Hospital and Esperanza Health Center to ensure community access to high-quality health care. In addition, SWOP recently completed a community-wide health plan. Activities include working to improve access and affordability of healthcare for the undocumented; working to increase and educate residents on how to navigate the health system; working to promote the long-term viability of health institutions in the community; and working to promote access to health insurance.
