About 

This December, Chicago United Solidarity Project (CUSP), The Evolved Network (TEN), and Women Unite! (WU!) are joining forces to co-host Unite! for a Cause: A Year-End Fundraiser, a celebration of all we’ve accomplished in 2024 and all we’ll continue to do in the year ahead. 

Details 

We’ll be at Hairpin Arts Center in Logan Square (map) with 250 of our closest friends, gathering together for an inspiring evening of community, celebration, and collective action. All dollars raised will support the three co-hosts and the impact we’re having across Chicago. 

Street parking is available, but extremely limited. Please plan on utilizing rideshare or public transit. Hairpin Arts Center is conveniently located near the Diversey, Milwaukee, and Kimball bus stops as well as the Logan Square Blue Line (closest to the Spaulding & Milwaukee exit.)

Hairpin Arts Center has a wheelchair accessible entrance and restroom.

This event is 21+.

Join us at Cedillo’s Fresh Produce for a private, catered farm to table dinner where you’ll have a chance to enjoy Chicago summer, connect with folks, and learn more about incredible mutual aid and social justice work happening across the city. Our menu will be designed and prepared by Roberto Pérez of Urban Pilón. Pérez is a chef, musician, and researcher of Afro-Caribbean traditions and a founding member of the Afro-Puerto Rican music group, Bomba con Buya.

During this intimate dining experience, you'll have a chance to enjoy Chicago summer, connect with folks, and learn more about incredible mutual aid and social justice work happening across the city.

Space is limited and tickets are required!

Cedillo’s Fresh Produce is a family run farm located at 325 W 70th Place on the South Side of Chicago. Founder Juan Cedillo is a third generation farmer who learned most of his skills working alongside his father and grandfather.

This virtual panel discussion will feature Women Unite! and their 2020 partners, Chicago Women’s Health Center, Growing Home, and Healing to Action, four grassroots organizations committed to building a more just, equitable world. Leaders from these groups will discuss the challenges of staying radical within our capitalist system and some ways that we, the people, can come together to make real, lasting change. The panel will be moderated by L’Oreal Thompson.
