Action You Can Take Today

Freedom Dreams and Chicago Futures Event Sunday
Artists, activists, workers, and students have long hoped and struggled for greater justice, equity, and freedom in the city of Chicago, a city divided by race, economics, and culture. The most recent mayoral election was polarizing but the city’s new mayor has promised a more justice city, more transparency and accountability from City Hall.
This program will host a conversation with Chicago’s new mayor, Mayor Brandon Johnson, and a discussion with activists working on the frontline of critical issues from immigration, to police accountability, to environmental justice to housing and education. We are honored to host Dr. Angela Davis who will offer virtual remarks during the program as well.
Activists featured include Maurice Mitchell (Working Families Party), Jung Yoon (Grassroots Collaborative), Aislinn Pulley (Chicago Torture Justice Center), Rich Wallace (Equity and Transformation), Any Huamani (Brighton Park Neighborhood Council), Jitu Brown (Journey for Justice Alliance), Asha Ransby-Sporn (United Working Families) and Kennedy Bartley (Chicago Torture Justice Memorial)
Registration is required for attendance. Doors open at 12pm.
This event will include live captioning and Spanish interpretation in-person. This event will also be recorded and posted online with captioning at a later date.
In consideration of all our guests, we will be asking attendees to wear face masks during the event. Masks will be made available at the registration table for those needing one.
