2020 was an inflection point nationally and in our own backyard, and it’s time to forge a new path and re-imagine how Chicago can work to lift up residents, improve civic engagement and enhance quality of life.


Are you ready to get started? 


From taxes, opportunity zones, private capital, revitalization efforts and economic priorities, community investment is constantly a topic of conversation in Chicago. 


Join WBEZ and University of Chicago’s Center for Effective Government for a virtual event to learn more about Chicago’s community investment priorities, bold approaches from other cities and innovative ideas from a diverse group of local civic leaders. During this event we will highlight two successful reform strategies that have revitalized U.S. cities. We will also connect with local activists, policymakers and community members to re-imagine how new approaches to community investment might build a more equitable Chicago.


We also want to hear from you! Share your ideas and suggestions for community investment by registering today. 


Event speakers include: 



  • Sasha-Ann Simons, Host, Reset (event moderator)

  • Natalie Moore, Reporter, Race, Class and Communities, WBEZ

  • Maritza Bandera, Program Manager, The Chicago Community Trust

  • Marshall Hatch Jr., Co-Founder & Executive Director, MAAFA Redemption Project

  • Bob Rivkin, Former Deputy Mayor, City of Chicago
