Residents met with four of Guardian Angels, the volunteer citizen patrol organization, to iron out plans at Center on Halsted Aug. 4. Only a handful of people attended the meet- ing, at which residents opted for joining up with the Angels rather than re-inventing the wheel to create a neighborhood safety patrol.

The Angels, in turn, TALKS WITH will train Lakeview volunteers intensively over WCT the course of three months. While the Angels PAGE 40 patrol the entire city, Lakeview volunteers will work in their community. Lakeview residents have called on the Guard- ian Angels in the past. In 1991, activist Alyn Toler started the Pink Angels Anti-Violence proj- ect, in response to anti-LGBT violence flaring up around the country. The Guardian Angels helped train the Pink Angels. That group, however, dis- banded a few years later. This time around, Lakeview residents will become Guardian Angels themselves, working within the organization’s established hierarchy and codes of conduct. The Guardian Angels are unique from other street patrols in that they physically intervene ERIC himan AT in situations. While most images of the Angels have portrayed large muscular men, the group MARKET DAYS said it also trains women and is open to trans- PAGE 39 gender people. “It’s all about empowering the members,” said Photographer A.J. Epstein talks about his historical photos (like this one of Richard Schmeichen with his Oscar for The Times of Harvey Milk) as well as his book, Queer Culture.
