Trustee Edward Steve announced a men's-only community meeting set for Saturday, Jan. 10, at 02:00 at Abundant Living Christian Center, 14520 Lincoln Avenue in Dolton. Steve said he and co-organizers Trustee Stan Brown and Pastor Fleshman are holding the "first only, men's only" meeting to bring men together for community action.
"We can't depend on just the elected officials," Steve said, arguing residents need to work together on local safety. "We can't depend on just the police to make the community safe." He described the gathering as a "unity event" that will address health, mental health and issues men face and urged attendees to "come out and express yourself and participate."
Steve noted the session is scheduled "right after the Feast of the Trustees" and repeated the time and venue, inviting men to "bring your sons" and "you can bring your nephews." He framed the meeting as an effort to supplement—not replace—public safety and public officials by encouraging neighborhood-level engagement.
The announcement did not provide additional details about the agenda, speakers beyond the named organizers, or whether the meeting will include formal outcomes or follow-up actions. Organizers can be reached at the venue address listed in the announcement for more information. The meeting is expected to proceed as described on Jan. 10.
