Why We Can't Wait
I’m sure like myself, many of you hear and read about events in the news – like Chicago youth caught up in the gun violence epidemic, and the seemingly never ending cycle of poverty and food insecurity, further exacerbated over the last year by the pandemic – and you wonder how any of us can make a difference.
In my effort to make a difference, I serve on the Chicago board of buildOn – an organization I’ve been involved with since 2017. buildOn's mission is to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy and low expectations.
I invite you to join me tomorrow, May 26 at 7:00 p.m. CT for our 2021 virtual event hosted by Journalist and NBC 5 News Anchor, Stefan Holt. Joining him on the main stage is President and co-CEO of Ariel Investments, Mellody Hobson, in conversation with CEO of FORTUNE, Alan Murray. Musical performances include Katie Kadan and Andy Grammer. This is one event you won’t want to miss!
With our youth, community activists and artists, we’ll explore the question, “How can we urgently work towards a more just and inclusive world?” Please use this link to register.
