This petition is to articulate opposition to a proposal by the Chicago Tabernacle Church to acquire and permanently alter the historic Portage Theater at Six Corners in Chicago.

This is a functioning movie theater and concert venue which serves the diverse neighborhoods of the Northwest Side of Chicago. The current tenant has invested more than $100,000 in the renovation and stewardship of this historic theater with deep roots in the Portage Park neighborhood of Chicago. We ask you to spread the word to preserve this local treasure for generations to come.
