Civic Songs Civic Stories

At this community-building event, we will gather to eat, sing, and share stories of civic engagement. We’ll be led in collective song by Chicago-based musical ensemble Vision in the Rhythm and hear stories of civic engagement and action from our community members. This event will include a meal catered CheSa’s Bar and Bistro, a creole restaurant in Avondale. This event is presented Coffeehouse Style, meaning it is alcohol-free and open to all ages. This event is FREE with a reservation.

About Civic Seaon: July 4th commemorates the moment a new nation was born, based on ideals that each generation since has worked to bring to life: freedom, equality, justice, and opportunity. Juneteenth, celebrated just a few weeks earlier, reminds us of the struggles and hard-won victories in our ongoing journey to form a “more perfect union.” Civic Season unites our oldest federal holiday with our newest, mobilizing a movement to understand our past and shape our future.
