Three years ago, we committed to the belief that Ethnic Studies could be a place of liberation, not just survival. Now, we look back with deep gratitude: for the educators, organizers, students, and supporters who gave their time, money, and belief when we were just getting started. In a time fraught with crises, we are still here. We recognize the challenges mounting against this work. But we will not waver. We will not back down. We are still here&mdash;and we&#39;re just getting started. Join us for an evening of community, storytelling, music, food, and collective generosity as we celebrate what we&#39;ve built together and share a surprise announcement for what&#39;s ahead! All tickets include drinks and delicious appetizers. Space is limited, and we fully expect to sell out&mdash;please RSVP early. If you&#39;re unable to join us in person, please consider sponsoring a ticket or donating to Umuwi. Your gift sustains the educators leading courageous work, strengthens our organizing infrastructure, and ensures Ethnic Studies has a future in Chicago and Illinois classrooms, in spite of the political climate working against it. Umuwi Ethnic Studies is a fiscally sponsored project of Community Initiatives.
