Take Back What Is Ours

Take Back the Southside Gym – For Our Community, For Our Future
We, the citizens of the Southside, are calling for the return of the Southside Gym to the people who truly have our community’s best interest at heart. This gym was once a vital part of our neighborhood — a safe space for our children, a resource for working parents, and a hub for connection and support.
I grew up in this area. I remember the summer camps, after-school programs, and the mentorship that shaped so many lives. It wasn’t just a gym — it was a lifeline for families.

Why is this important?
Today, the Southside Gym is no longer run by individuals who know, understand, or prioritize the needs of our community. Decisions are being made without our input, and opportunities for our youth and families are disappearing.
We are asking for your support to help us reclaim the Southside Gym and restore it as a community-run space — where programs can be rebuilt, kids can feel safe and engaged, and families can receive the support they deserve.
Sign this petition to show that Southside belongs to its people. Let’s bring it back to life - together
