Join us for the inaugural Juneteenth commemoration! UChicago Grad Council in partnership with the Black Grad Coalition, and Office of Multicultural Student Affairs is bringing a month-long series of events focusing on Black students and building effective allyship. As part of these events we are encouraging the UChicago community to take our Pledge to learn and give back as well as donate to a local organization who is leading the way in creating empowered communities.

This year we are raising funds for Brave Space Alliance, the first Black-led, trans-led LGBTQ+ Center located on the South Side of Chicago, dedicated to creating and providing affirming, culturally competent, for-us by-us resources, programming, and services for LGBTQ+ individuals on the South and West sides of the city. We strive to empower, embolden, and educate each other through mutual aid, knowledge-sharing, and the creation of community-sourced resources as we build toward the liberation of all oppressed peoples.

Sign the pledge and donate to Brave Space Alliance by purchasing a ticket. You can learn more about the months events, including the keynote speaker Angela Davis, and register at our website. We look forward to kicking-off this inaugural event with you!
