Blacks In Green is a nonprofit organization that acts as a bridge among residents, neighborhood groups, and institutions to plan and develop green, self-sustaining, mixed-income, walkable villages in communities owned and populated by African Americans. The approach centers on enabling daily life within walking distance—work, shopping, education, and recreation—while circulating dollars locally to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The organization's work emphasizes community ownership, sustainable design, and neighborhood-scale impact.

Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Blacks In Green focuses its efforts in Chicago’s West Woodlawn area and similar communities, partnering with residents, businesses, and public partners to pursue long-term urban greening goals. A recent collaboration with ADT under its Safe Places program supports the organization’s community development initiatives in West Woodlawn. The organization also engages with other partners and stakeholders to advance its urban greening projects and related neighborhood initiatives.
