Neighborhood artist Reggie Johnson
Reggie models his Give Back shirts, which he and his team sell to support his organizing efforts.
Reggie Johnson grew up a block from The Village. As a child, Reggie attended Village arts programs, and as a teen, grew into a party promoter who created safe spaces for young people to gather and express themselves together. Today, he’s turning those talents towards politics and community organizing as the Youth Ambassador for the 37th Ward, and seeking to connect disparate groups in the neighborhood to solve community problems.
