4TH ANNUAL FUNDRAISER

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26TH 2026

BBQ AND THE MUSIC OF MOTOWN

Chicago doesn’t need more people talking at each other. It needs more people who know how to listen. That’s the work Heal Chicago has been doing, and we’re celebrating it the way it deserves: good food, good music, and a room full of people who believe a more connected Chicago is worth building.

Join us for an evening on the river, and help us reach our goal of $75,000 to keep this working growing.

PANEL DISCUSSION

MONDAY, OCTOBER 26TH 2026

THE GENDER OF POLITICS, POLITICS OF GENDER: PERSONHOOD & POLITICS

How do gender and politics shape one another, and what does that mean for how we are seen, heard, and valued in society? This discussion will explore the ways political systems, public discourse, and cultural expectations influence questions of identity, rights, and personhood. Through thoughtful dialogue, participants will engage the complex intersection of gender and politics with nuance, respect, and a commitment to deeper understanding.
